Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Highstreet
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If you are dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
If your home in or near Highstreet is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Questions from Highstreet
Will you come out to Highstreet?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Highstreet?
It can. Highstreet is within about 2 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 I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Highstreet, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.

Getting ready for the visit

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. A unit used solely for cooling is not covered, so check with the council.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Highstreet
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
