How air source heat pumps works in Portsmouth
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- 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.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.

Air source heat pumps around Portsmouth
In Portsmouth, we fit heat pumps in places such as Southsea, Milton and Landport and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Portsmouth, 19 in all.
Portsmouth is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. You reach the same people wherever you are in it. In the coastal parts of Portsmouth, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing.
Portsmouth: Period properties close to St Wilfrid can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. For a home near Fratton station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
Rented and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Why it fails
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The size of the job
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What state the existing equipment is in
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Leave it or put it right?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time.

Portsmouth questions
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Is Portsmouth in your area?
Yes. We cover Portsmouth, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
