Air source heat pumps in Fernhurst
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Fernhurst, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Fernhurst
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Margaret can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Fernhurst
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Fernhurst?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Fernhurst Conservation Area is close to the centre of Fernhurst. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Chichester council, usually the authority for Fernhurst first.
Will you come out to Fernhurst?
Yes. Fernhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can call 07833 053749 to book it.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses, and this is not tax advice.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Book a yearly service
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before booking.
