Air source heat pumps in Holton Hill, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
For a home around Holton Hill that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. 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.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If a lane or gateway near Holton Hill is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.

Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What a heat pump looks like in Holton Hill
Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Bateman's about 0.9 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St Bartholomew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
Holton Hill: your questions answered
Will you come out to Holton Hill?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Holton Hill permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Holton Hill sits inside a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Rother council, usually the authority for Holton Hill.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. It does not apply to businesses. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Quite possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
