Air source heat pumps in High Salvington, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can sort it out.
Older homes around High Salvington can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Common questions in High Salvington
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in High Salvington?
High Salvington is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you do air source heat pumps in High Salvington?
We do: High Salvington falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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 will tell you what to do first.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in High Salvington
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. For a place like High Salvington, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What a heat pump looks like in High Salvington
Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of High Salvington and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Worthing council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 50% of homes in High Salvington and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 92% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Ecclesden Manor lies about 3.1 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around St Peter? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in High Salvington can usually be finished in one visit.
