How we handle air source heat pumps in Findon
We install air source heat pumps in Findon and across West Sussex, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Findon, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Findon: your questions answered
Is Findon within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Findon?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Findon Conservation Area, close to central Findon. 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 Arun council, which is usually the planning authority for Findon first.
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. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you are eligible.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it will not qualify.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a village like Findon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear access to the fuse board
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Findon?
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Ecclesden Manor lies about 3.8 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What records you get at the end
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
Air source heat pumps around Findon
About 50% of homes across Findon and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 92% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Findon.
