Air source heat pumps in Lurgashall, done properly
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Homes around Lurgashall typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Lurgashall?
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Older homes near The Parish Church of St Lawrence may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- If the figure could change on the day

Homes in Lurgashall and heat pumps
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Petworth House about 3.9 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lurgashall
Is Lurgashall within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lurgashall?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Lurgashall Conservation Area, close to central Lurgashall. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Chichester council, normally the authority for Lurgashall.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids do not qualify and other conditions apply.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Lurgashall is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
