Air source heat pumps in Kingston near Lewes, done properly
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 can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
Homes around Kingston near Lewes normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Kingston near Lewes.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Kingston near Lewes
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How easy the units are to reach
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone 07833 053749.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

With Anne of Cleves House about 1.5 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes) may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Kingston near Lewes questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Kingston near Lewes?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Kingston Conservation Area, close to central Kingston near Lewes. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Kingston near Lewes, typically Lewes council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Kingston near Lewes?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Kingston near Lewes 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next service
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
