How we handle air source heat pumps in Salehurst
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
For a home around Salehurst that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What we are called out for in Salehurst
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Historic houses such as Durhamford Manor, about 3.7 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

FAQs for Salehurst
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Salehurst?
Salehurst is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Salehurst?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Salehurst is in a conservation area. 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 Rother council, which is typically the planning authority for Salehurst.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you cover Salehurst?
Yes. We work in Salehurst and across East Sussex, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

What else we do in Salehurst
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep radiators clear
- Ask about the grant before you commit
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Salehurst easier.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
