Air source heat pumps in Nuthurst, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Nuthurst and the rest of West Sussex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
In a place like Nuthurst, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
How it works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Nuthurst.

Air source heat pumps in Nuthurst: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St Andrew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

FAQs for Nuthurst
Will a heat pump in Nuthurst need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Nuthurst sits inside the Nuthurst Conservation Area. 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 don’t 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 Horsham council, which is normally the planning authority for Nuthurst.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Nuthurst?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Nuthurst is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
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.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Booking before summer means the work in Nuthurst is done before the hot weather.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
