About our air source heat pumps in Hangleton
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
Homes around Hangleton typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go.

Advice
Heat pumps in Hangleton: local notes
Hangleton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 53% of homes in and around Hangleton date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 88% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Andrew's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Ecclesden Manor lies about 0.9 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep radiators clear
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

Common questions in Hangleton
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Hangleton?
It can. Hangleton is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hangleton?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Hangleton holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Arun council, typically the authority for Hangleton.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
