About our air source heat pumps in Pulborough
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old.
Homes around Pulborough usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Pulborough
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Pulborough?
Pulborough is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Pulborough?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Pulborough, Lower Street Conservation Area is close to the centre of Pulborough. 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 Horsham council, which is typically the planning authority for Pulborough.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Homes in Pulborough and heat pumps
About 41 miles out from central London, Pulborough is part of the South East area we work across.
Period properties close to The Parish Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Historic houses such as Old Place Manor, about 0.4 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Pulborough is about 10 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We cover Pulborough for air source heat pumps and across the rest of West Sussex. In West Sussex alone we list 371 places and Pulborough is among them. Worthing, roughly 10 miles off, has its own page on this site.
One of our recent jobs in Pulborough was on Lower Street (RH20): installing a Daikin multi-split system serving the restaurant dining area, the private function room and the bar area as part of a major refurbishment programme.

We also cover Hardham (1 mile south-west), Pickhurst (1 mile north-west), Coldwaltham (2 miles south-west), Fittleworth (3 miles west) and Bedham (3 miles west).

Local landmarks in Pulborough
Around Pulborough, our work takes us to homes and businesses near The Oddfellows Arms, among other places.

A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (3.8 miles south-east) and Coates Castle (3.8 miles west). Not far away are Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
After we have gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.

How we price air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How many units are involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Everything the job in Pulborough needs is worked out beforehand.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
