Air source heat pumps in Hurst Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. Typical jobs include ageing boilers that will need replacing and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Hurst Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

FAQs for Hurst Green
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hurst Green?
Hurst Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will a heat pump in Hurst Green need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Hurst Green 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 Hurst Green.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.

Rented and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Book a yearly service
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
