What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of any existing system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
To get a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
About our air source heat pumps in Northiam
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can sort it out.
For a home around Northiam that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What air source heat pumps cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Air source heat pumps in Northiam: the local picture
The middle of Northiam is part of a conservation area. In the mile around Northiam’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 59 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Northiam, including Church House (grade II*). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Rother council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. If your home is listed, like Great Dixter about 0.5 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Questions from Northiam
Will you come out to Northiam?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Northiam?
Northiam is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
After we have gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Book a yearly service
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Northiam.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
