Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Selsfield Common
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We are often asked to deal with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For a home around Selsfield Common 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, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
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.
What a heat pump looks like in Selsfield Common
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
With Gravetye Manor about 0.8 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

What else we do in Selsfield Common
Common questions in Selsfield Common
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Selsfield Common?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Selsfield Common holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Mid Sussex council, normally the authority for Selsfield Common first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Selsfield Common?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Selsfield Common, if they qualify. 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.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near Selsfield Common is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Selsfield Common?
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Look out for these signs:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Comparing heat pump types
Older homes near Church of St Leonard may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
