Partridge Green: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Partridge Green?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 11 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Partridge Green. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Horsham council, typically the authority for Partridge Green.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Partridge Green?
Partridge Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation 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. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, 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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Air source heat pumps in Partridge Green
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Older and listed homes in villages like Partridge Green need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Partridge Green around you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Partridge Green
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Period properties close to St Michael and All Angels Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
What air conditioning will not do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you’re not sure, just call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
