What we’re called out for in Catisfield
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Air source heat pumps in Catisfield
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about checking emitters for a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Homes around Catisfield typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Heat pumps in Catisfield: local notes
Catisfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. VOA council tax data date about 64% of homes in Catisfield and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The Catisfield Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Catisfield, within about a third of a mile. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Catisfield. Historic England lists about 23 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Catisfield, including Parish Church of St Peter (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Fareham council, which normally handles Catisfield where needed.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Catisfield: your questions answered
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Catisfield?
It can, as Catisfield is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will you come out to Catisfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit.

Visits to a place like Catisfield are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

“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.”
