About our air source heat pumps in Seawick
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Homes around Seawick typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems, and both cause problems.
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Air source heat pumps around Seawick
The coast is only about 1 mile from Seawick. 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 41% of homes in and around Seawick to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Grant applications go through the MCS certified installer, so that part is handled for you. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

Seawick questions
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Seawick?
It can, as Seawick 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.
Will you come out to Seawick?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken 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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
