- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- A boiler that is getting old
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that’s normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Air source heat pumps in Elvetham
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is moving away from fossil-fuel heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Elvetham, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air source heat pumps in Elvetham: the local picture
About 53% of homes across Elvetham and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary at Elvetham Hall, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Common questions in Elvetham
Can I fit a heat pump in Elvetham without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Elvetham. 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 Elvetham, usually Hart council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Elvetham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Elvetham is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Elvetham and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
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 systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Elvetham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Ask for a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, 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 in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
