What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

About our air source heat pumps in Dean
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Homes around Dean usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Why deal with it now?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that’s a reason to look into it now. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
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.
Why book with us
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
- MCS certification for heat pump work
- Enquiries answered the same working day

Common questions in Dean
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Dean?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Dean. 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 Winchester City council, which is normally the planning authority for Dean.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Dean?
Dean is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a place like Dean, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.

- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Dean
Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
