Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation along with the room sizes.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Breamore
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
Homes around Breamore normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Breamore
Is a heat pump in Breamore permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Breamore Conservation Area is close to the centre of Breamore. 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 do not 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 Breamore, usually New Forest council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Breamore?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Breamore is in England, where it applies. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Breamore, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
