What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered and need a check with the council.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Godshill
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Godshill, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The brand, model and parts involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Questions from Godshill
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Godshill?
Godshill is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Godshill without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Godshill sits inside the Western Escarpment Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with New Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Godshill.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Air source heat pumps in Godshill: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Giles, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Breamore House about 2.9 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Godshill, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

“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.”
