The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Fittleworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Fittleworth, done properly
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. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can sort it out.
For a home around Fittleworth that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Homes in Fittleworth and heat pumps
Fittleworth’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Fittleworth Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Fittleworth and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 48 within half a mile of the centre, such as The Parish Church of St Mary (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (usually Chichester council). The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 43% of homes in Fittleworth and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

When to call us in Fittleworth
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
With Old Place Manor about 2.1 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Honest limits
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Fittleworth
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fittleworth?
Fittleworth is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Fittleworth within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
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 so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
