How we handle air source heat pumps in Stalisfield Green
We begin with a room-by-room 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. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Stalisfield Green need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, 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. Visits to Stalisfield Green are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
What a heat pump looks like in Stalisfield Green
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. Stalisfield Green’s centre falls inside the Stalisfield Green Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Stalisfield Green. About 11 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Stalisfield Green, Oak Cottage (grade II) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens, about 2.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Questions from Stalisfield Green
Is Stalisfield Green within the area you cover?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stalisfield Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stalisfield Green, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
That depends on your home and the unit’s position. 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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
When to call us in Stalisfield Green
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
Common reasons people call us include:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
