Questions from Old Shoreham
Is Old Shoreham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Old Shoreham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Old Shoreham, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Old Shoreham
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
For a home around Old Shoreham that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small and that matters for comfort and running.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. Cooling-only units are not included and need a check with the council.
Air source heat pumps around Old Shoreham
Old Shoreham lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Old Shoreham, you reach the Old Shoreham Conservation Area. In the mile around Old Shoreham’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Nicolas (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Adur council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
Homeowners near Shoreham-By-Sea station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Live in one of the older houses around St Nicolas' Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Old Shoreham is about 1 mile west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex.

Neighbouring places we cover include Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile east), Adur (1 mile north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east), Southwick (2 miles east) and Castle Town (3 miles north).

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Shoreham
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. An early booking makes the visit to Old Shoreham easier to arrange.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site 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, and we tidy up before we leave. For a place like Old Shoreham, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
