Air source heat pumps in Rye Harbour
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are moving away from fossil-fuel heating and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
In a place like Rye Harbour, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
What affects the quote in Rye Harbour
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How easy the units are to reach
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Air source heat pumps in Rye Harbour: the local picture
Rye Harbour is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. Central Rye Harbour is inside a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Ship Cottage (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Historic houses such as Lamb House, about 1.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Period properties close to The Church of the Holy Spirit can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Rye Harbour is about 10 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Properties in Rye Harbour get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, large and small. Eastbourne, roughly 23 miles off, has its own page on this site.
The closest recent job we can point to from Rye Harbour was on Mermaid Street, Rye (TN31), about 1 mile north-west: installing three Fujitsu wall-mounted units in guest bedrooms, with the outdoor units positioned in the hotel’s walled rear garden.

Rye Harbour questions
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Rye Harbour?
It can, as Rye Harbour is within about 1 mile 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Rye Harbour?
Rye Harbour is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you work in Rye Harbour?
Yes. Rye Harbour is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
