Modernise Your Home Heating
Replacing an existing heating system is an opportunity to improve how your home is heated while moving towards a modern air source heat pump setup.
Air Source Heat Pumps West Sussex can assess your current heating, property layout, insulation, hot water demand, and existing equipment before recommending suitable changes. Radiators, pipework, controls, and cylinder space can all be considered, helping create an upgrade that works with your home rather than simply replacing one piece of equipment.
Plan The Right Upgrade
Existing homes often need more careful planning than new properties because parts of the current heating system may be retained, changed, or upgraded. A home survey can help identify heat loss, radiator output, hot water requirements, available outdoor space, and how suitable the existing system is for an air source heat pump.
Air Source Heat Pumps West Sussex can explain what may need changing before work starts, helping make the process easier to understand. Explore our domestic installation services for further information about upgrading your home heating system.
Heating Upgrades That Work Together
A successful home upgrade involves more than choosing a heat pump. Existing radiators may need checking for suitable output, while the hot water cylinder, heating controls, and pipework should also work correctly with the new system.
Homes with underfloor heating can also benefit from careful checks to ensure suitable flow temperatures, heating zones, and system balance.
By considering each part together, Air Source Heat Pumps West Sussex can design an upgrade around the property and the way it is used, helping provide reliable heating, hot water, and straightforward everyday control.
Complete Home Heating Upgrade
Air Source Heat Pumps West Sussex can manage the main parts of an existing home heat pump upgrade, from assessing the property through to installation and final setup. This includes checking how existing heating equipment will work with the proposed system and identifying where changes could improve comfort and performance.
The upgrade can cover the heat pump, hot water cylinder, underfloor heating connections, radiator requirements, heating controls, and system commissioning. Each part is considered as part of the wider system rather than treated separately.
Heat Pump Installation
A heat pump can be selected and installed around your home's heating demands, available space, and existing system.
Hot Water Cylinders
Cylinder size, location, and connections can be reviewed to provide suitable hot water for regular household use.
Underfloor Heating Connections
Existing underfloor heating can be connected to support suitable temperatures, heating zones, and warmth throughout the home.
Radiator Requirements
Existing radiators can be assessed for output, with advice provided where larger or different radiators may better suit the system.
Domestic Heating Installation

Existing System Checks
Before an air source heat pump is installed, Air Source Heat Pumps West Sussex can review your current radiators, pipework, cylinder, controls, insulation, and heating requirements to understand what can remain. Some homes may only require limited changes, while others could benefit from radiator upgrades, a different cylinder, or changes to the wider heating setup before installation begins.
