Air source heat pumps in Easton
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Easton need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Air source heat pumps in Easton: the local picture
The 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What affects the quote in Easton
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The address and the type of property
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Common questions in Easton
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Easton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Easton is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is a heat pump in Easton permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Easton Conservation Area, close to central Easton. 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 Winchester City council, which is normally the planning authority for Easton.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Easton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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.
