FAQs for Fair Oak
Do you cover smaller places like Fair Oak?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Fair Oak in your area for air source heat pumps?
We do: Fair Oak falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Air source heat pumps in Fair Oak
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Fair Oak and the rest of Hampshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
Cottages and older homes near Fair Oak can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Homes in Fair Oak and heat pumps
At about 64 miles from central London, Fair Oak sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. The 2021 Census found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Saint Thomas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. South Stoneham House lies about 3.9 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Fair Oak is about 2 miles east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. From the centre of Fair Oak to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call 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.
After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep to regular servicing
- File the MCS certificate safely
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
