- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Rye.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in Rye
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Older homes around Rye can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Rye
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Rye?
It can, as Rye is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Rye?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Rye is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
After we have gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Homes in Rye and heat pumps
At about 2 miles from the coast, Rye is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The middle of Rye is part of a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 287 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Rye; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Rother council, usually the planning authority here.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Lamb House about 0.1 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749.
