Air source heat pumps in Telham
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. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Older and listed homes in villages like Telham need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Telham.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Telham
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Want a quote for air source heat pumps? Please phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.

What a heat pump looks like in Telham
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Homeowners near Battle station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Durhamford Manor lies about 2.4 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Telham is about 4 miles north-west of Hastings, in East Sussex. Properties in Telham get the same service as everywhere we cover: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end. 289 places in East Sussex are on our list, large and small. We also work in Eastbourne, about 13 miles from Telham.
Not far from Telham, a recent job of ours was on High Street, Battle (TN33), about 1 mile north-west: installing two Samsung wall-mounted units in the dining room and a single unit in the kitchen preparation area.
From Hastings Road, Starr's Green Lane and Starrs Mead to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. Work in TN33 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. We also cover the places around Telham: Kent Street (2 miles east), Sedlescombe (2 miles north-east), Whatlington (2 miles north), Westfield (3 miles east) and Swaile's Green (4 miles north). Further out, we also cover Eastbourne (13 miles south-west), Hastings (4 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south-west) and Hailsham (12 miles west).

Telham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Telham?
Yes. Telham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will a heat pump in Telham need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Telham sits inside a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Telham, normally Rother council).
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home; as an add-on to a boiler it does not qualify.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
