Air source heat pumps in Funtley, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Funtley, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Funtley
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Funtley?
It can, as Funtley is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is Funtley within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate. We check what applies to you.
Air source heat pumps around Funtley
The coast is only about 3 miles from Funtley. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 64% of homes in Funtley and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Older homes near Church of St Francis may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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 a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Funtley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How many units are involved
- What electrical work the job needs
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
