Optimum HVAC installs air source heat pumps for homes across East Sussex and Kent. We're MCS certified installers — which means we can help you claim the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant available in England, dramatically reducing the upfront cost of switching to renewable heating.
How Air Source Heat Pumps Work
An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air — even in cold weather — and uses it to heat your home and hot water. They run on electricity rather than gas or oil, which means lower running costs, lower carbon emissions, and no dependency on fluctuating fossil fuel prices. A well-sized system typically produces 3–4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used.
Running Costs vs Gas & Oil Boilers
Modern air source heat pumps are significantly cheaper to run than oil boilers, and increasingly competitive with gas as electricity tariffs improve. Paired with solar panels or an off-peak tariff like Octopus Cosy or Go, running costs can drop further still. We'll give you an honest picture of expected costs before you commit to anything.
New Builds & Retrofits
Air source heat pumps work well in new builds and are increasingly viable as retrofits — especially in well-insulated homes. We carry out a full survey before any installation to confirm your home is suitable, check radiator sizing, and design a system that will perform properly. We'll tell you honestly if a heat pump isn't the right fit for your property.
Brands We Install
We install heat pumps from all the major manufacturers, including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Vaillant, and Samsung. We'll recommend the right brand and model for your home's size, layout, and budget.
Our Process
Every installation starts with a no-obligation survey. We assess your home, design the system, handle all the paperwork for the BUS grant, and manage the full installation from start to finish. We commission the system, register it with MCS, and make sure you know how to use it before we leave.
