About our air source heat pumps in South Bersted
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is not knowing whether a grant applies and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
If your home near South Bersted has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
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. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in South Bersted
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in South Bersted?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including South Bersted, if they qualify. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is South Bersted within the area you cover?
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 equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Heat pumps in South Bersted: local notes
South Bersted lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The last census (2021) found about 49% of households live in flats. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. In the mile around South Bersted’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 31 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Bersted, including Church of St Mary Magdalene (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Period properties close to Church of St Mary Magdalene can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is near Bognor Regis station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What affects the quote in South Bersted
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit

For landlords and property managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near South Bersted.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
