Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ridgewood
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Ridgewood and the rest of East Sussex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking whether planning permission is needed, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home near Ridgewood has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What else we do in Ridgewood
Air source heat pumps around Ridgewood
About 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Saviour, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is near Uckfield station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
Ridgewood is about 1 mile south of Uckfield, in East Sussex. From the centre of Ridgewood to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. We cover 289 places across East Sussex. Burgess Hill, roughly 10 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Ridgewood, a recent job of ours was on High Street, Uckfield (TN22), about 1 mile north: installing a Samsung multi-split system serving three bedrooms and the home office.

Advice
Ridgewood: your questions answered
Is Ridgewood within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Ridgewood without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Ridgewood. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Wealden council, which is normally the planning authority for Ridgewood.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Why deal with it now?
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. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- F-Gas certified company
- A reply the same working day
- MCS certification for heat pump work
