Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Jarvis Brook
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Jarvis Brook and the rest of East Sussex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for deciding on the outdoor unit position and no space for a hot water cylinder, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Jarvis Brook, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Jarvis Brook
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Jarvis Brook?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Jarvis Brook 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Jarvis Brook without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Jarvis Brook holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Wealden council, typically the authority for Jarvis Brook.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. 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. Somewhere like Jarvis Brook, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
