Your questions about air source heat pumps in Finkley
Is Finkley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Finkley?
Finkley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Air source heat pumps in Finkley, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Finkley and the rest of Hampshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and not knowing whether a grant applies, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Finkley is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Finkley?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
The things we are asked about most are:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
If your home is one of the older properties near Christ Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Finkley.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
