Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hatherden
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and a boiler that’s getting old.
Older and listed homes in villages like Hatherden need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Hatherden?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
What we’re most often called about:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Older homes near Christchurch may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Rented and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
What a heat pump looks like in Hatherden
Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hatherden, including School (grade II). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with Test Valley council, typically the planning authority here. Census 2021 figures found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it can’t replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
VAT on heat pumps
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5% following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. Businesses pay the standard rate.
The process
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 from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Hatherden easier.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- 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.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hatherden
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
Yes. Hatherden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hatherden?
Hatherden is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
