How we handle air source heat pumps in Holybourne
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 anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes around Holybourne usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Honest limits

- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a place like Holybourne, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Holybourne
Will you come out to Holybourne?
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.
Can I fit a heat pump in Holybourne without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Holybourne is in the Holybourne Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at East Hampshire council, typically the authority for Holybourne first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. The relief is not available to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
