FAQs for Lordington
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Lordington?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Lordington 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lordington?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Lordington Conservation Area takes in the middle of Lordington. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Lordington, typically Chichester council).
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is Lordington in your area?
Yes. We cover Lordington and the rest of West Sussex, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, phone us on 07833 053749.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Air source heat pumps in Lordington
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Lordington need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Air source heat pumps in Lordington: the local picture
About 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
With Warblington Castle about 4.2 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Racton Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Lordington is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Lordington
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

- The pipe route between the units
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
