Common questions in Selham
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Selham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Selham is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Selham?
It depends on the property. The centre of Selham is in the Selham Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Chichester council, which is normally the planning authority for Selham.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Is Selham in your area?
Yes. We cover Selham and across West Sussex, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Air source heat pumps in Selham
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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
If your home in or near Selham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the trip to Selham around you.
- 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.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

What a heat pump looks like in Selham
About 43% of homes in Selham and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Cowdray House, roughly 2.7 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Older homes near Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep to regular servicing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
