Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
About our air source heat pumps in Lee-on-the-Solent
We install air source heat pumps in Lee-on-the-Solent and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and no space for a hot water cylinder, on air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
Homes around Lee-on-the-Solent usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common questions in Lee-on-the-Solent
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lee-on-the-Solent?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Lee-on-the-Solent holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Gosport council, usually the authority for Lee-on-the-Solent.
Do you cover smaller places like Lee-on-the-Solent?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Lee-on-the-Solent

- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
To speed up the quote, please include:

Heat pumps in Lee-on-the-Solent: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Lee-on-the-Solent. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. About 37% of homes across Lee-on-the-Solent and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well.
If your home is listed, like Osborne House about 4.9 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Faith? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Advice

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
