How we handle air source heat pumps in West Hoathly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in West Hoathly and the rest of West Sussex. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If you’re dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, we can sort it out.
If your home in or near West Hoathly 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.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

West Hoathly: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in West Hoathly?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including West Hoathly, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is West Hoathly within the area you cover?
Yes. West Hoathly is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Air source heat pumps around West Hoathly
About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The centre of West Hoathly lies within the West Hoathly Conservation Area. The Parish Church of St Margaret, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 25 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around West Hoathly’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (normally Mid Sussex council).
Live in one of the older houses around St Margaret's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Priest House, roughly 0.2 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Booking before summer means the work in West Hoathly is done before the hot weather.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
