About our air source heat pumps in Emery Down
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Homes around Emery Down typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Booking before summer means the work in Emery Down is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Emery Down is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
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 is normal.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
What we are called out for in Emery Down
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

Emery Down: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Emery Down?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Emery Down?
Emery Down is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What a heat pump looks like in Emery Down
Emery Down’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Swan Green Conservation Area. In the mile around Emery Down’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 25 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Michael and All Angels (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at New Forest council, which usually handles Emery Down. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 40% of homes in and around Emery Down before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Christ Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
