Fullerton: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Fullerton without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Fullerton. 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 do not 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 local planning authority (for Fullerton, typically Test Valley council).
Is Fullerton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Not on a home installation at the moment: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Fullerton
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Fullerton 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 manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Homes in Fullerton and heat pumps
Census 2021 figures found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Older homes near Church of St Nicholas may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What affects the quote in Fullerton
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What kind of system it is
- The pipe route between the units
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
