Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Strettington
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 does not apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
If your home in or near Strettington is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
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.

When to call us in Strettington
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
If your home is listed, like Goodwood House about 0.9 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Comparing quotes

Pricing air source heat pumps in Strettington
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- 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

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Strettington
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Strettington?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Strettington is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is a heat pump in Strettington permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 16 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Strettington. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Chichester council, which is normally the planning authority for Strettington.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.

Owner checks or an engineer?
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 or a short video of the display is even better.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
