Liss Forest air source heat pumps
We cover Liss Forest for air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Comparing heat pump types
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. 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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Liss Forest.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in Liss Forest
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and not knowing whether a grant applies.
For a home around Liss Forest 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Homes in Liss Forest and heat pumps
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Liss Forest and it takes in 2 conservation areas. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with East Hampshire council, typically the planning authority here.
For a home near Liss station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. If your home is one of the older properties near St Saviour's, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Liss Forest is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether you’re in the middle of Liss Forest or further out, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Count every place we list in Hampshire and you reach 683, with Liss Forest on the list. Guildford, roughly 19 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Our nearest recent job to Liss Forest was on Petworth Road, Haslemere (GU27), about 8 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system serving the master bedroom, two further bedrooms and the basement games room.
You will find streets such as Forest Road, Warren Road and Newfield Road, and we cover them all. Our working area takes in GU33, every street of it. Places around Liss Forest that are also on our list: The Mint (1 mile south-east), Liss (1 mile south), West Liss (1 mile south), Greatham (1 mile north) and Rake (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cover Havant (14 miles south), Fleet (15 miles north), Horndean (11 miles south-west) and Aldershot (14 miles north).
Landmarks near Liss Forest
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Temple Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Liss station, roughly 0.7 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (3.8 miles north) and The Romany Museum (3.7 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Liss Riverside Railway Walk North and Wheatham Hill.
Before you call an engineer
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Common questions in Liss Forest
Is the heat pump grant available in Liss Forest?
Liss Forest is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Liss Forest within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
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 also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
A customer’s words
“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.”
