Air source heat pumps in Haslingbourne, done properly
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
If your home in or near Haslingbourne is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Heat pumps in Haslingbourne: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 43% of homes in and around Haslingbourne before 1919, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Bartholomew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. 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 Haslingbourne can be planned properly.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Related advice
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Haslingbourne
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Petworth House lies about 1.1 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
Should you have questions after the install, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Have the system serviced regularly. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
FAQs for Haslingbourne
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Haslingbourne?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Haslingbourne, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I fit a heat pump in Haslingbourne without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Haslingbourne holds about 18 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Chichester council, usually the authority for Haslingbourne first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
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 prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
What happens if it’s left?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. Booking before summer means the work in Haslingbourne is done before the hot weather.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
