Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Knights Enham
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Knights Enham, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Related advice
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They don’t heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. 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. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Knights Enham
Is a heat pump in Knights Enham permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Knights Enham. 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 Test Valley council, which is normally the planning authority for Knights Enham.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Knights Enham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Knights Enham 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you cover Knights Enham?
Yes. Our engineers work in Knights Enham, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Knights Enham?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
What we are most often called about:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Michael and All Angels? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Heat pumps in Knights Enham: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 47% of homes across Knights Enham and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 40% of households in terraced houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
