Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hightown
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you are dealing with ageing boilers that will need replacing and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
For a home around Hightown that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What we’re called out for in Hightown
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Look out for these signs:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Avon Tyrrell House, roughly 3 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
What the work involves, system by system
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.
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.
What a heat pump looks like in Hightown
Older homes near St John the Baptist may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Hightown
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Hightown.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Questions from Hightown
Will a heat pump in Hightown need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hightown. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Hightown, normally New Forest council).
Will you come out to Hightown?
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.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
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, and we set out the options after the survey.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
