Heat pump installers in Binscombe
Our engineers work in Binscombe on air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Binscombe.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Binscombe
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Typical jobs include an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Binscombe that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It takes over from the boiler and we install it to MCS standards.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Binscombe.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

About 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The Binscombe Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Binscombe. In the mile around Binscombe’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Romilly Cottage (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Guildford council, which usually handles Binscombe before the heat pump design is finished.
Live in one of the older houses around St John the Evangelist Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Homeowners near Farncombe station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Questions from Binscombe
Do you cover smaller places like Binscombe?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Binscombe?
Binscombe is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
