What a heat pump looks like in Forest Corner
About 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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 St John the Baptist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Forest Corner
We install air source heat pumps in Forest Corner and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Forest Corner, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Common problems we fix in Forest Corner
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Avon Tyrrell House, roughly 3.6 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Before booking anyone
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Forest Corner: your questions answered
Is Forest Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is a heat pump in Forest Corner permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of Forest Corner is in the Western Escarpment Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with New Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Forest Corner first.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Forest Corner so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
