Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Ampfield
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you’re dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can sort it out.
Homes around Ampfield normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Any gas work on the existing boiler

How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Ampfield.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

Heat pumps in Ampfield: local notes
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. The centre of Ampfield lies within the Ampfield Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 20 within half a mile of the centre, such as Ampfield House (grade II*). For a heat pump, permitted development does not 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 the local planning authority (normally Test Valley council) where necessary.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to Church of St Mark can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Questions from Ampfield
Do you cover smaller places like Ampfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is the heat pump grant available in Ampfield?
Ampfield is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
