About our air source heat pumps in Mount Pleasant
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
If your home in or near Mount Pleasant 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Mount Pleasant can be planned properly.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on 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.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Heat pumps in Mount Pleasant: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Glyndebourne about 4.1 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Mount Pleasant is about 4 miles north of Lewes, in East Sussex. Whether you’re in the middle of Mount Pleasant or further out, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Burgess Hill, roughly 7 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Mount Pleasant, a recent job of ours was on High Street, Lewes (BN7), about 4 miles south: installing a Fujitsu wall-mounted split system in the retail area, with the outdoor unit positioned in the rear courtyard to preserve the listed street frontage.
Work in BN8 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Close by, we work in Barcombe Cross (1 mile south-west), Barcombe Mills (1 mile south), Barcombe (1 mile south), Isfield (2 miles east) and Upper Wellingham (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (15 miles south-east), Seaford (11 miles south), Lewes (4 miles south) and Hailsham (11 miles south-east).

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mount Pleasant
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

Questions from Mount Pleasant
Is Mount Pleasant within the area you cover?
Yes. Mount Pleasant is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Mount Pleasant?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Mount Pleasant. 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 local planning authority (for Mount Pleasant, normally Lewes council).
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Mount Pleasant
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
If your home is one of the older properties near St Bartholomews, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
