Heat pump installers in Northease
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Northease for heat pump installation. Fixed-price quotes and a 24/7 emergency line.

- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Northease
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. Typical jobs include not knowing whether a grant applies and checking whether planning permission is needed, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Northease need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What affects the quote in Northease
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The equipment or parts the job needs
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What a heat pump looks like in Northease
Northease is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Monk's House, roughly 0.7 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near St Peter's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Northease is about 3 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. Across the BN7 area, we can help with air source heat pumps. Our area takes in 289 places across East Sussex. Brighton, roughly 6 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Our nearest recent job to Northease was on High Street, Lewes (BN7), about 3 miles north: 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.
Our working area takes in BN7 in full. We also cover the places around Northease: Rodmell (1 mile south-east), Iford (1 mile north-west), Kingston near Lewes (2 miles north-west), Southover (2 miles north) and Cliffe (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include Eastbourne (13 miles east), Seaford (6 miles south-east), Hailsham (11 miles east) and Uckfield (10 miles north-east).

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Northease easier.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
After we have gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
FAQs for Northease
Will a heat pump in Northease need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Northease holds about 12 listed buildings and structures. 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 local planning authority (for Northease, normally Lewes council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Northease?
Northease is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Northease in your area?
Yes. We work in Northease and the rest of East Sussex, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
What a customer said
“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.”
