Air source heat pumps in Baybridge, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
Older and listed homes in villages like Baybridge need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the job
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your installation or service records
For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.
What a heat pump looks like in Baybridge
About 72% 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.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Andrew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Baybridge: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Baybridge?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Baybridge. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Baybridge, typically Winchester City council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Baybridge?
Baybridge is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.

- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.

“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.”
