How we handle air source heat pumps in Ibsley
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out where a cylinder could go, across radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Ibsley need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Ibsley?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Look out for any of the following:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- A boiler that’s getting old
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

FAQs for Ibsley
Is Ibsley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ibsley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Ibsley without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Ibsley is a short walk from the Ibsley Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at New Forest council, typically the authority for Ibsley.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions, and we check before you commit.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. Visits to Ibsley are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
A customer’s words
“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.”
