Heat Pumps in Burgess Hill
Heat pump installation is the fitting of an air-source heat pump and associated hot water cylinder as a replacement for, or alternative to, a gas boiler, sized to the property's heat loss and often eligible for the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant.
In Burgess Hill, that covers St Andrews, Gattons, Kings Way, Fairfield, Leylands, Victoria Park, Wivelsfield Green. Burgess Hill has expanded substantially since the Victorian era, with a historic core supplemented by significant 20th and 21st-century housing development, including several large newer estates on the town's edges. This mix means both period-property refurbishment and more straightforward extension work on modern housing are common locally.

Property styles in Burgess Hill
Victorian and Edwardian housing sits close to the town centre, with substantial areas of postwar and recent new-build estate housing across the wider town. Newer estate housing typically has more straightforward extension potential, subject to individual developer restrictive covenants which we advise clients to check.
Planning considerations
Mid Sussex District Council is the local planning authority. Some newer developments carry restrictive covenants set by the original developer that go beyond standard planning control — worth checking your title deeds alongside our planning assessment.

FAQs
Heat Pumps in Burgess Hill: FAQs
Do you provide heat pumps across all of Burgess Hill?
Yes, we cover the RH15 postcode area in full, including St Andrews, Gattons, Kings Way, Fairfield, Leylands, Victoria Park, Wivelsfield Green.
Will I need to replace my radiators for a heat pump?
Often, yes — heat pumps run most efficiently at lower flow temperatures than a gas boiler, so existing radiators are sometimes undersized for the new system. We assess this during the heat loss survey and specify any radiator or underfloor heating changes needed.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant?
It's a government grant offering a fixed contribution toward the cost of installing an air-source or ground-source heat pump in England and Wales. Eligibility depends on the property and installer, so we advise on the likely position but can't guarantee an award.
Do new-build estates in Burgess Hill have restrictions on extending?
Some do, through developer-imposed restrictive covenants in addition to normal planning control. We recommend checking your title deeds, and we factor this into our feasibility advice where relevant.
