Air source heat pumps in Hambrook
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are a boiler that’s getting old and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Homes around Hambrook usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Air source heat pumps in Hambrook: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hambrook. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around St Wilfrid's Church and Hall? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Nutbourne station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Not far from Hambrook, a recent job of ours was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 5 miles east: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area.
That includes properties on Kingfisher Close, Dragonfly Grove and Pipistrelle Way and nearby roads. Our working area takes in PO18. We also cover the places around Hambrook: Nutbourne (1 mile south), Funtington (1 mile north-east), West Ashling (1 mile east), Chidham (1 mile south) and Racton (2 miles north).

Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Questions from Hambrook
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hambrook?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Hambrook is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Hambrook?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

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 several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Hambrook can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
What a customer said
“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.”
