Air source heat pumps in Guestling Green, done properly
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. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
In a place like Guestling Green, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Questions from Guestling Green
Is the heat pump grant available in Guestling Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Guestling Green, if they qualify. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Guestling Green?
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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Guestling Green.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump and we tell you if it needs replacing.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered, so check with the council.
Heat pumps in Guestling Green: local notes
Guestling Green is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The centre of Guestling Green lies within a conservation area. About 15 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Guestling Green, The Parish Church of St Laurence (grade I) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Rother council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Older homes near St Laurence's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
