Air source heat pumps in Lord's Wood, done properly
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking emitters for a heat pump, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Lord's Wood, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Safe owner checks
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.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Heat pumps in Lord's Wood: local notes
About 72% 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.
Older homes near St Mary's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. South Stoneham House, roughly 4.1 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Lord's Wood.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.

Lord's Wood questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lord's Wood?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lord's Wood. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Winchester City council, which is normally the planning authority for Lord's Wood.
Is Lord's Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify and other conditions apply.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
