What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Lickfold
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can sort it out.
In a place like Lickfold, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

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 do not heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source, and is MCS certified when we install it.

FAQs for Lickfold
Do you cover smaller places like Lickfold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Lickfold?
Lickfold is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What a heat pump looks like in Lickfold
Historic England lists about 17 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lickfold, including Forge Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Chichester council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. The last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Lawrence, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Cowdray House about 3.4 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. An early booking makes the visit to Lickfold easier to arrange.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
