Heat pumps in Petworth: local notes
About 43% of homes in Petworth and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Sacred Heart Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

About our air source heat pumps in Petworth
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Petworth and the rest of West Sussex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If you’re dealing with comparing heat pump types and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
In a place like Petworth, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Petworth
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- How easy the units are to reach
- What state the existing equipment is in
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
What we’re called out for in Petworth
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Petworth House lies about 0.3 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that 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. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Petworth can be planned properly.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
How to get a quote
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Petworth questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Petworth?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Petworth is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Petworth need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Petworth Conservation Area, close to central Petworth. 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 do not 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 Chichester council, which is normally the planning authority for Petworth.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work in Petworth?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Petworth included.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across West Sussex. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
From one of our customers
“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.”
