What happens if it’s left?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air source heat pumps in Stedham, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are moving away from fossil-fuel heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Older and listed homes in villages like Stedham need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent 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.

Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Stedham can be planned properly.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Stedham questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stedham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stedham, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Stedham need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Stedham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Stedham. 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 Chichester council, normally the authority for Stedham first.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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 manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What air conditioning will not do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
