Warninglid air source heat pumps
For air source heat pumps in Warninglid, one call is all it takes: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Warninglid
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
In a place like Warninglid, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

When to call us in Warninglid
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- A boiler that is getting old
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- What’s in the price and what is not
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
Heat pumps in Warninglid: local notes
About 36% of homes in the Warninglid area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Tyes Place, roughly 1.8 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Warninglid is about 4 miles west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Properties in Warninglid get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Count every place we list in West Sussex and you reach 371, with Warninglid on the list.
The closest recent job we can point to from Warninglid was on Perrymount Road, Haywards Heath (RH16), about 4 miles east: full VRF system installation across all three floors, replacing an outdated and inefficient fan coil unit system.
From The Street, Staplefield Lane and Orchard Way to the smaller roads in between, nowhere is left out. Work in RH17 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Neighbouring places we cover include Slough Green (1 mile east), Staplefield (1 mile north-east), Whitemans Green (2 miles east), Brook Street (2 miles east) and Cuckfield (3 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (6 miles north), Horsham (6 miles north-west), Haywards Heath (4 miles east) and Burgess Hill (5 miles south-east).

Common questions in Warninglid
Is Warninglid within the area you cover?
Yes. Warninglid is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Warninglid permitted development?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Warninglid holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Mid Sussex council, which is usually the planning authority for Warninglid.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What happens if it’s left?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we will talk you through it.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Warninglid.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
