How we handle air source heat pumps in Tangmere
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. We’re often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and no space for a hot water cylinder, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near Tangmere can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tangmere
Can I fit a heat pump in Tangmere without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Tangmere is a short walk from the Tangmere Conservation Area. 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 Chichester council, which is typically the planning authority for Tangmere first.
Will you come out to Tangmere?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.

How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Tangmere.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
