Air source heat pumps in Framfield
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
Homes around Framfield usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Framfield.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.

What affects the quote in Framfield
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The address and the type of property
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Air source heat pumps in Framfield: the local picture
Framfield’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Framfield Conservation Area. About 20 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Framfield, Grange Farm House (grade II) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? Census 2021 figures found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Framfield
Is the heat pump grant available in Framfield?
Framfield is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Framfield within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights, so we check during the survey.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Framfield and across East Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Let and managed properties
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Framfield and across East Sussex. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Framfield?
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Period properties close to St Thomas à Becket Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
