Ore air source heat pumps
Heat pump installation, in Ore and nearby. Call for a fixed-price quote; we reply the same working day.
- A boiler that is getting old
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Because we plan from pictures or a survey, a job in Ore can typically be finished in one visit.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Air source heat pumps in Ore, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Homes around Ore usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Air source heat pumps around Ore
At about 1 mile from the coast, Ore is close enough for sea air to matter. 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. About 41% of homes in Ore and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 38% of households in terraced houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care.
Older homes near Christ Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If you live near Ore station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Our working area takes in TN35 and TN34, every street of it. If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Rye Road, Rock Lane and Mill Lane or a nearby road, our engineers can take on the work. Neighbouring places we cover include Bachelor's Bump (1 mile north-east), Guestling (2 miles north-east), Fairlight (2 miles east), Friar's Hill (2 miles north-east) and Guestling Green (2 miles north-east).

What air source heat pumps cannot fix

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Ore
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Ore?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ore. 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 the local planning authority (for Ore, typically Hastings council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Ore?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ore, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
