Common problems we fix in Potter's Green
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Comparing heat pump types
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If you live near Buxted station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
About our air source heat pumps in Potter's Green
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If you are dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can sort it out.
Homes around Potter's Green typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a place like Potter's Green, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Potter's Green: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Potter's Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Potter's Green 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit a heat pump in Potter's Green without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Potter's Green holds about 12 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Potter's Green, normally Wealden council).
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Is Potter's Green in your area?
Yes. Potter's Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep radiators clear
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Homes in Potter's Green and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 37% of homes in and around Potter's Green before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary the Virgin can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
