How we handle air source heat pumps in Durrants
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If you’re dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Durrants, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Seal draughts where you can
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
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 it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Durrants
Is the heat pump grant available in Durrants?
Durrants 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Durrants?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Sir George Staunton Country Park Conservation Area, close to central Durrants. 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 do not 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 Durrants, typically East Hampshire council).
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Durrants.
- 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.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air source heat pumps around Durrants
At about 3 miles from the coast, Durrants is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 88% of homes in the Durrants area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 44% of households in terraced houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
If your home is one of the older properties near St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Homeowners near Rowlands Castle station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

When it’s something else
