Heat pump installation in Heath End, Hampshire
Our engineers work in Heath End on heat pump installation. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Heath End
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 the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
In a place like Heath End, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Air source heat pumps in Heath End: the local picture
On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Heath End; Corner Cottage (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? VOA council tax data date about 47% of homes in the Heath End area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Saint Mary's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Heath End?
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
Common questions in Heath End
Will you come out to Heath End?
Yes. Heath End 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 get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Heath End?
Heath End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Will my radiators work with 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, and the survey checks each one.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Should you have questions after the install, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. If a lane or gateway near Heath End is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
