Air source heat pumps in Lower Froyle
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go, on underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Lower Froyle need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Common questions in Lower Froyle
Will you come out to Lower Froyle?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will a heat pump in Lower Froyle need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Lower Froyle is a short walk from the Froyle (Lower) Conservation Area. 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at East Hampshire council, usually the authority for Lower Froyle.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so phone 07833 053749 to arrange one.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What a heat pump looks like in Lower Froyle
The last census (2021) found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Mary of the Assumption may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Lower Froyle
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The equipment or parts the job needs

A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Your installation or service records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Want a quote for air source heat pumps? Please call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the job. We will talk you through the options and give you a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.
After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
If anything does not seem right after installation, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.

Leave it or put it right?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Booking before summer means the work in Lower Froyle is done before the hot weather.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
