About our air source heat pumps in Plumpton Green
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and a boiler that’s getting old.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Plumpton Green, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
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 and it’s worth keeping safe.

Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Common problems we fix in Plumpton Green
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Plumpton Green.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Related advice
Air source heat pumps around Plumpton Green
The last census (2021) found about 76% 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. About 8 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Plumpton Green, Rylands Cottage (grade II) among them. 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 Lewes council, usually the planning authority here where necessary.
Older homes near All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Common questions in Plumpton Green
Will you come out to Plumpton Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Plumpton Green?
Plumpton Green is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
