Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Polegate
We install air source heat pumps in Polegate and across East Sussex, and we are MCS certified. 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 help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Older homes around Polegate can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

- A boiler that is getting old
Live in one of the older houses around St John's Church of England Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Questions to ask before you book

Air source heat pumps around Polegate
About 49 miles out from central London, Polegate is part of the South East area we work across. About 45% of homes in and around Polegate date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If you live near Polegate station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The condition of any existing system
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How many units are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.

Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
