Common questions in Salvington
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Salvington?
It can, as Salvington is within about 3 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Salvington?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Salvington Conservation Area takes in the middle of Salvington. 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 the local planning authority (for Salvington, usually Worthing council).
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
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.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to arrange one.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Salvington
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are a boiler that’s getting old and working out where a cylinder could go.
Older homes around Salvington can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What a heat pump looks like in Salvington
The coast is only about 3 miles from Salvington. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 40% of homes in and around Salvington to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup.
Older homes near St Symphorian's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Salvington
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What electrical work the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your installation or service records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Salvington
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Comparing heat pump types
With Ecclesden Manor about 3.2 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
What your quote should include
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Salvington.
- 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 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
