How we handle air source heat pumps in Gosport
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We are often asked to deal with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and not knowing whether a grant applies, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems.
Most homes around Gosport have space for the outdoor unit, and the position has to pass the MCS planning standard’s noise check to count as permitted development.
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 source heat pumps around Gosport
Gosport is within about 2 miles of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 38% of homes across Gosport and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 49% of households in terraced houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

When to call us in Gosport
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Period properties close to St Faith's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
Gosport: your questions answered
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Gosport?
It can, as Gosport is within about 2 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Gosport?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Gosport is in England, where it applies. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
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.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
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. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

What else we do in Gosport
The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Send us a few phone pictures and we can plan most of the visit to Gosport.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Let and managed properties
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep radiators clear
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
