Air Source Heat Pumps in Froyle
Our engineers work in Froyle on MCS certified installation of air source heat pumps for heating and hot water, with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant applied for. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Visits to Froyle are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Froyle
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
In a place like Froyle, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
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, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Heat pumps in Froyle: local notes
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Froyle
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Froyle?
Froyle 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Froyle need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Froyle (Upper) Conservation Area is close to the centre of Froyle. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at East Hampshire council, typically the authority for Froyle.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
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.
Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Froyle and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.
