Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.
Air source heat pumps in Seabrook
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Homes around Seabrook normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: 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. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Seabrook, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Air source heat pumps in Seabrook: the local picture
Seabrook lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The last census (2021) found about 44% of households in terraced houses. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Period properties close to Seabrook Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Westenhanger Castle lies about 4 miles west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Seabrook questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Seabrook?
Seabrook 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Seabrook within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
