Air source heat pump installation for Burgess Hill homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Burgess Hill is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Homeowners across West Sussex can arrange a survey in Burgess Hill for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Terraced streets in Burgess Hill often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
In Burgess Hill, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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 Burgess Hill quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Designing for Burgess Hill's winters
Burgess Hill sees roughly 7 hours 55 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 32 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 Burgess Hill: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Burgess Hill that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burgess Hill, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Haywards Heath as well as Burgess Hill?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Haywards Heath, which is about 3 miles north-east of Burgess Hill, and across West Sussex.
What size heat pump does a Burgess Hill home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Burgess Hill home.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
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.
