Air source heat pumps in Crowdhill
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. 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 you are dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Homes around Crowdhill typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Homes in Crowdhill and heat pumps
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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 the Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as South Stoneham House, about 4.4 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Crowdhill is about 2 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Whether you are in the middle of Crowdhill or further out, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Crowdhill is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for homes and businesses. We also work in Guildford, about 37 miles from Crowdhill.

What affects the quote in Crowdhill
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Want a quote for air source heat pumps? Please ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the job. We’ll talk you through the options and give you a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.
After we’ve gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Seal draughts where you can
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Crowdhill.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
FAQs for Crowdhill
Is Crowdhill within the area you cover?
Yes. Crowdhill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is a heat pump in Crowdhill permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Crowdhill. 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 local planning authority (for Crowdhill, typically Eastleigh council).
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief doesn’t cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
