Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Dummer
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
In a place like Dummer, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Air source heat pumps in Dummer: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 38% of homes in and around Dummer were built in 2000 or later, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Diary the next service
Should you have questions after the install, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Safe owner checks
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
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 of the display helps even more.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Dummer easier.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Ask for a quote
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The brand, model and parts involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

FAQs for Dummer
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Dummer?
Dummer is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Dummer?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Dummer Conservation Area takes in the middle of Dummer. 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 the local planning authority (for Dummer, normally Basingstoke and Deane council).
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Dummer and across Hampshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
