- A boiler that’s getting old
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book a yearly service
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Ask about the grant before you commit
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Holbury
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Homes around Holbury usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air source heat pumps around Holbury
Holbury lies within about 2 miles of the sea. 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 50% of homes in the Holbury area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Beaulieu Palace House about 2.9 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Holbury?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Before booking anyone
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Holbury.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Holbury: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Holbury?
Holbury is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
Is Holbury within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
