How we handle air source heat pumps in Drayton
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
If your home in or near Drayton is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Drayton so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Advice
When to call us in Drayton
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
Drayton: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Drayton?
Drayton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Drayton?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Drayton. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Drayton, usually East Hampshire council) first.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.

Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
