How we handle air source heat pumps in Minsted
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Minsted is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Minsted?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that is the appeal for many households.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Period properties close to The Parish Church of St James can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Common questions in Minsted
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Minsted?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Minsted. 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 do not 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, usually the authority for Minsted.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Minsted?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Minsted, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quotes don’t take long. 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.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
