Start with the
right detail.
Brighton sits within Brighton & Hove, where the council has declared a climate and biodiversity emergency and is pursuing net zero, climate resilience and nature recovery. The council says most city emissions come from heating buildings and is focusing on low-carbon, electrified energy systems. Its 2025 heat-pump information highlights that 86% of homes are heated by gas, while the refreshed climate plan records air-source heat-pump and thermal-battery installations in council housing, including a communal air-source heat pump installed in 2025. Brighton's built environment also includes many conservation areas, including The Avenues, Brunswick Town, Kemp Town, Montpelier & Clifton Hill, North Laine, Old Town, Preston Village, Regency Square, Round Hill and West Hill. The council advises that tighter planning controls can apply in conservation areas and that listed-building consent may be required for many energy-efficiency works; it recommends discussing proposals with contractors experienced in historic buildings and keeping interventions reversible and respectful of historic fabric.
- Provide the Brighton postcode, property type, system type, manufacturer and model if known.
- Describe the symptom, when it began, whether heating or hot water is affected, and any displayed code or alarm.
- Confirm whether the property is in a conservation area or is listed, using Brighton & Hove City Council's heritage pages, and mention any relevant planning history.
- Make safe access available to the indoor controls, outdoor unit, cylinder, plant room and isolators; do not dismantle equipment before assessment.

service.
Air-source and ground-source heat-pump system checks, servicing and fault diagnosis. Assessment of controls, thermostats, sensors, pumps, valves, filters, pressure, flow and heat-delivery performance. Review of system details and property context before any service or repair pathway is confirmed. For heritage properties, record the unit location, visibility, fixings and any planning or listed-building constraints before arranging work.

repair.
No-heat, low-heat, intermittent operation, unusual noise, warning codes, poor hot-water performance and circulation or control issues can be described for initial triage. Do not remove covers or work on refrigerant circuits, electrical components or sealed systems unless appropriately qualified; isolate the system only as instructed by its documentation and use the manufacturer guidance. In conservation areas or listed buildings, repair or replacement proposals should minimise harm, retain significant features where possible and remain reversible; planning permission or listed-building consent may apply on a case-by-case basis. Keep the model and serial number, installation or commissioning records, recent warning codes, photos of the controls, and details of any recent changes to the heating system available for assessment.

Clear answers
before you book.
Can a heat pump be serviced in a Brighton conservation area?+
It may be possible, but the council says planning controls are tighter in conservation areas and points to specific guidance for air-source and ground-source heat pumps. Check the property's designation and seek the relevant planning advice before alterations or replacement work.
What information is useful when requesting heat-pump repair?+
Share the postcode, system type and manufacturer, the exact symptom, any warning code, whether heating or hot water is affected, and photos of the controller or display. Installation records and service history can also help establish the correct repair route.
Does a listed building need extra checks before heat-pump work?+
Yes. Brighton & Hove City Council states that listed-building consent is required for most energy-efficiency works and that proposals are considered case by case. Discuss the work with the council and a contractor experienced with historic buildings before proceeding.
