Air source heat pumps in Hedge End, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are finding a place for the outdoor unit and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
In a town like Hedge End, most heat pump enquiries are for houses heated by a gas boiler. We survey the heat loss, radiators, hot water and the outdoor unit position, then design the system.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Shops and offices in Hedge End can typically stay open while we work, or we come after hours.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Hedge End
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Older homes near Church of St John the Evangelist may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
