Heat pump installers in Shermanbury
Need air source heat pumps in Shermanbury? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- Comparing heat pump types
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: 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. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Shermanbury.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Shermanbury
We install air source heat pumps in Shermanbury and across West Sussex, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include not knowing whether a grant applies and checking whether planning permission is needed, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Shermanbury, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Shermanbury
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The address and the type of property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
To get a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Shermanbury
Do you cover smaller places like Shermanbury?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Shermanbury?
Shermanbury is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re 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 you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it 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 plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
Air source heat pumps in Shermanbury: the local picture
About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Shermanbury, including The Gateway and Porters Lodge (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Horsham council, which normally handles Shermanbury where needed.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around The Parish Church of St Giles? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
