About our air source heat pumps in Hale
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and comparing heat pump types, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Hale that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Hale questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hale?
Yes. Hale is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit a heat pump in Hale without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Hale sits inside the Western Escarpment Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Hale, usually New Forest council) first.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
Why act early in Hale
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Planning ahead for a job in Hale means we can bring everything needed.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

What a heat pump looks like in Hale
The last census (2021) found about 82% 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.
Breamore House, roughly 2.5 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Hale.

How to prepare
