About our air source heat pumps in Ifieldwood
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 the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Ifieldwood need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source so you will need another way to heat it.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.

What else we do in Ifieldwood
Owner checks or an engineer?
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ifieldwood
Is the heat pump grant available in Ifieldwood?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Ifieldwood is in England, where it applies. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Ifieldwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will you make a mess?
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’ve done.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
What warranty do I get?
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 your brand on the quote.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Air source heat pumps in Ifieldwood: the local picture
On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Ifieldwood; Pockneys Farmhouse (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Horsham council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 70% of homes across Ifieldwood and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 38% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
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. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

What we do, step by step

It 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, and we tidy up before we leave. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Ifieldwood.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
