Why it’s worth doing now in Hurstpierpoint
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

About our air source heat pumps in Hurstpierpoint
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can sort it out.
Whether a home near Hurstpierpoint has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hurstpierpoint
Is the heat pump grant available in Hurstpierpoint?
Hurstpierpoint is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Hurstpierpoint?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Hurstpierpoint Conservation Area, close to central Hurstpierpoint. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Mid Sussex council, normally the authority for Hurstpierpoint.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Everything the job in Hurstpierpoint needs is worked out beforehand.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

What we’re called out for in Hurstpierpoint
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. 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.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
What affects the quote in Hurstpierpoint
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
