Homes in South Heath and heat pumps
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Heath, including Bury Farmhouse (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Cholesbury Manor House, roughly 3.4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary's, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in South Heath
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near South Heath, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

Common questions in South Heath
Do you cover smaller places like South Heath?
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.
Is the heat pump grant available in South Heath?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: South Heath is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Why act early in South Heath
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. For a village like South Heath, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, 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 from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like South Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
