Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Abshot
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and comparing heat pump types.
Homes around Abshot normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Abshot questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Abshot?
Abshot is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is Abshot within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Many installations on houses in England fall under permitted development, subject to the rules. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Heat pumps in Abshot: local notes
Abshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Abshot, including Great Abshot House (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Fareham council, usually the planning authority here where needed. About 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to St John can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Abshot is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO14, we cover air source heat pumps. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries and Abshot is among them. Worthing, roughly 38 miles off, has its own page on this site.

System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
