Furnace Wood: your questions answered
Is Furnace Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Furnace Wood?
Furnace Wood is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
About our air source heat pumps in Furnace Wood
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Furnace Wood and the rest of West Sussex. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. We’re often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Furnace Wood, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes and the installer applies.
Air source heat pumps around Furnace Wood
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Furnace Wood, including Miles Farmhouse (grade II). 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 planning team at Mid Sussex council, which normally handles Furnace Wood.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Advice
After we have gone
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
What we’re called out for in Furnace Wood
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Look out for these signs:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Historic houses such as Saint Hill Manor, about 3 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you get at the end
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
