East Meon: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in East Meon without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the East Meon Conservation Area, close to central East Meon. 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 East Hampshire council, which is typically the planning authority for East Meon.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in East Meon?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: East Meon is in England, where it applies. 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 don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you cover East Meon?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, East Meon included.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
About our air source heat pumps in East Meon
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. 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. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
For a home around East Meon that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Air source heat pumps in East Meon: the local picture
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 All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to East Meon are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
System by system
Hot water cylinders
Cylinder size is based on your household’s needs.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
