About our air source heat pumps in Chilbolton
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are no space for a hot water cylinder and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
In a place like Chilbolton, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Chilbolton around you.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Chilbolton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The size of the job
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What a heat pump looks like in Chilbolton
The 2021 Census found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary the Less, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Chilbolton questions
Is Chilbolton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Chilbolton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Chilbolton is a short walk from the Chilbolton Conservation Area. 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 don’t 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 planning department at Test Valley council, typically the authority for Chilbolton.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: 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 when we finish.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. 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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
A customer’s words
“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.”
