Questions from Firgo
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Firgo?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Firgo holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Firgo.
Is the heat pump grant available in Firgo?
Firgo is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Air source heat pumps in Firgo, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you’re dealing with ageing boilers that will need replacing and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can help.
Homes around Firgo normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What else we do in Firgo
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep radiators clear
- Keep to regular servicing
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Rented and managed buildings
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Heat pumps in Firgo: local notes
About 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. 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. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Firgo.
