About our air source heat pumps in Ifield
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
Whether a home near Ifield has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

FAQs for Ifield
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Ifield?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Ifield is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Ifield?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Air source heat pumps in Ifield: the local picture
About 73% of homes across Ifield and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 40% of households in terraced houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Ifield, you reach the Ifield Village Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Ifield and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Ifield Quaker Meeting House, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Ifield’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If you live near Ifield station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Live in one of the older houses around St Margaret's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Ifield.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
