Air source heat pumps in Lullington, done properly
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. If you are dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Homes around Lullington usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What else we do in Lullington
Do you need air source heat pumps in Lullington?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Alfriston Clergy House lies about 0.3 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Lullington can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Homes in Lullington and heat pumps
Lullington is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 55% of homes in the Lullington area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St. Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

FAQs for Lullington
Can I fit a heat pump in Lullington without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 47 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lullington. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Lullington, usually Wealden council) first.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Lullington?
It can, as Lullington is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. The survey is where we check your home against them.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Lullington and across East Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
