Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Streat
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We are often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
In a place like Streat, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Homes in Streat and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Streat’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Streat Conservation Area. The Parish Church, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 9 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Streat’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If your home is one of the older properties near Streat Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Streat is about 3 miles south-east of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. Our engineers cover Streat for air source heat pumps and across the rest of West Sussex. Streat is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex where we work.
The closest recent job we can point to from Streat was on Keymer Road, Hassocks (BN6), about 3 miles west: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving three bedrooms and a dedicated home office.

What else we do in Streat
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Streat easier.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Advice
How we price air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What kind of system it is
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. 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 not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Streat?
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units and switch to cooling in warm weather. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Common questions in Streat
Is the heat pump grant available in Streat?
Streat is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Streat?
Yes. Streat is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
