Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hiltingbury
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We’re often asked to deal with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Cottages and older homes near Hiltingbury can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

Air source heat pumps around Hiltingbury
Hiltingbury is about 66 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 62% of homes in and around Hiltingbury date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to St. Martin in the Woods can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It takes over from the boiler, and is MCS certified when we install it.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
Questions from Hiltingbury
Can you do air source heat pumps in Hiltingbury?
We do: Hiltingbury falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Hiltingbury within the area you cover?
Yes. Hiltingbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it 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. Everything the job in Hiltingbury needs is worked out beforehand.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Booking before summer means the work near Hiltingbury is done before the hot weather.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
