Heat pumps in Upper Beeding: local notes
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Upper Beeding, you reach the Upper Beeding, High Street Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Upper Beeding and it takes in 3 conservation areas. The Parish Church of St Peter, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 33 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Upper Beeding’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Horsham council) where necessary. About 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Portslade Manor about 4.6 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Air source heat pumps in Upper Beeding, done properly
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. We’re often asked to deal with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and not knowing whether a grant applies, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Upper Beeding, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Upper Beeding is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Advice
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book a yearly service
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
Should you have questions after the install, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Upper Beeding
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. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
If your home is one of the older properties near The Parish Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Upper Beeding
Is Upper Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Upper Beeding?
Upper Beeding is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
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. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

“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.”
