Common questions in High Cross
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in High Cross?
High Cross is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
About our air source heat pumps in High Cross
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around High Cross usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply

What else we do in High Cross
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to High Cross easier.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The size of the job
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in High Cross
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, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Comparing heat pump types
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Heat pumps in High Cross: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Peter (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at East Hampshire council, which usually handles High Cross where necessary. Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Peter, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
