About our air source heat pumps in Northchapel
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a place like Northchapel, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why act early in Northchapel
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. Booking before summer means the work in Northchapel is done before the hot weather.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Northchapel questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Northchapel?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Northchapel, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Northchapel?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Northchapel and across West Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
What affects the quote in Northchapel
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of any existing system
- How easy the units are to reach
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Homes in Northchapel and heat pumps
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The centre of Northchapel lies within the Northchapel Conservation Area. Vine Cottages, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 33 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Northchapel’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the planning team at Chichester council, which usually handles Northchapel.
Petworth House, roughly 4.9 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Michael, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Northchapel is about 12 miles south-east of Farnham, in West Sussex. Whether you’re in the middle of Northchapel or further out, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, large and small.

The closest recent job we can point to from Northchapel was on Petworth Road, Haslemere (GU27), about 4 miles north-west: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving the master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the basement games room.
Work in GU28 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Pipers Lane, Valentines Lea and St Michaels Close, all of which are in our area. If you’re just outside Northchapel, we cover Ebernoe (2 miles south-east), Shillinglee (2 miles north-east), Lurgashall (2 miles south-west), Ansteadbrook (2 miles north-west) and Ramsnest Common (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Horsham (14 miles east), Storrington (13 miles south-east), Billingshurst (9 miles east) and Roffey (15 miles east).

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Northchapel easier.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

“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.”
