About our air source heat pumps in Heathfield
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Whether a home near Heathfield 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Heathfield
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Heathfield?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Heathfield. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Heathfield, usually Fareham council).
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Heathfield?
It can. Heathfield is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded, among other rules.
Air source heat pumps around Heathfield
The coast is only about 3 miles from Heathfield. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 64% of homes in Heathfield and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If you live near Fareham station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Period properties close to St Columba can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Heathfield
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Planning ahead for a job near Heathfield means we can arrive with everything needed.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Use the settings explained at handover
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Heathfield.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- 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.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
