About our air source heat pumps in Little Posbrook
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are a boiler that’s getting old and comparing heat pump types.
For a home around Little Posbrook that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Air source heat pumps in Little Posbrook: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Little Posbrook. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

What owners can safely do
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 call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Questions from Little Posbrook
Is Little Posbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Little Posbrook?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Little Posbrook holds about 5 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 Fareham council, usually the authority for Little Posbrook.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. The relief does not cover businesses, and this is not tax advice.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Seal draughts where you can
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Little Posbrook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How easy the units are to reach
- The number of rooms, units or zones
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Need a price for air source heat pumps? Please phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details about the property. We’ll explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that 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. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Little Posbrook easier.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
