What a heat pump looks like in Hart Plain
At about 58 miles from central London, Hart Plain sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 54% of homes across Hart Plain and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 67% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to The Hart Plain Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Warblington Castle about 4.5 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Hart Plain is about 1 mile north of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. Homes and businesses alike in Hart Plain, we can help with air source heat pumps.

About our air source heat pumps in Hart Plain
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. Typical jobs include working out where a cylinder could go and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, across air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Whether a home near Hart Plain has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Visits to a place like Hart Plain are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Hart Plain: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hart Plain?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Hart Plain for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Hart Plain is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
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 and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter. We check what applies to you.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form to arrange one.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Why deal with it now?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you’re thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Hart Plain
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
For landlords and property managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
