About our air source heat pumps in Lowford
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, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near Lowford can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

When to call us in Lowford
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Medieval Merchant's House, roughly 3.7 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
FAQs for Lowford
Is Lowford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Lowford without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Lowford holds about 4 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 Eastleigh council, typically the authority for Lowford.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Lowford and across Hampshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Homes in Lowford and heat pumps
Lowford lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 32% of homes in the Lowford area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is near Bursledon station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Lowford can be done in one go where possible.
