How we handle air source heat pumps in Chandler's Ford
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
Older homes in a town like Chandler's Ford can still suit a heat pump, though some need bigger radiators or better insulation first. We work that out from a heat loss calculation.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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.

Common questions in Chandler's Ford
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Chandler's Ford?
Chandler's Ford is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover Chandler's Ford for air source heat pumps?
We do: Chandler's Ford falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How it works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Most visits to homes in Chandler's Ford are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What kind of system it is
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Need a price for air source heat pumps? Please phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chandler's Ford
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
