About our air source heat pumps in Bursledon
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
Cottages and older homes near Bursledon can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Visits to a place like Bursledon are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Homes in Bursledon and heat pumps
At about 2 miles from the coast, Bursledon is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 32% of homes in and around Bursledon have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Medieval Merchant's House about 4 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Homeowners near Bursledon station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Bursledon
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Rented and managed buildings
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
FAQs for Bursledon
Will a heat pump in Bursledon need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Old Bursledon Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bursledon. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Bursledon, usually Eastleigh council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Bursledon?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bursledon is in England, where it applies. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
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. 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 air source heat pumps can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
