About our air source heat pumps in Graffham
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding on the outdoor unit position and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
If your home in or near Graffham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Heat pumps in Graffham: local notes
About 46 miles out from central London, Graffham is part of the South East area we work across. Graffham’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Graffham Conservation Area. About 22 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Graffham, Elm Cottage (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?
Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St Giles? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Cowdray House about 3.5 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Graffham is about 9 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Homes and businesses alike in Graffham, we can help with air source heat pumps.

Different systems, different jobs
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
FAQs for Graffham
Do you cover smaller places like Graffham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Graffham?
Graffham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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.
How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Graffham.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
How we price air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The make and model of the system, from the label
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
