About our air source heat pumps in Holbrook
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Homes around Holbrook normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so the work is clear.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Holbrook.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Book a yearly service
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
FAQs for Holbrook
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Holbrook?
Holbrook is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Holbrook within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Holbrook?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Comparing heat pump types
For a home near Warnham station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Homes in Holbrook and heat pumps
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Holbrook; Hollywick Farmhouse (grade II) is one. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Horsham council, which typically handles Holbrook where necessary.
Period properties close to St. Mark's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
