Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Bognor Regis
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Bognor Regis is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Many homes in Bognor Regis have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows. For older properties in Bognor Regis, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
Homeowners across West Sussex can arrange a survey in Bognor Regis for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Bognor Regis quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

How long is the heating season in Bognor Regis?
Bognor Regis sees roughly 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 30 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

Air source heat pump installation in Bognor Regis: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bognor Regis that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bognor Regis, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Chichester as well as Bognor Regis?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Chichester, which is about 6 miles north-west of Bognor Regis, and across West Sussex.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bognor Regis house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Bognor Regis home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
