How we handle air source heat pumps in Lymore
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
For a home around Lymore 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.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Lymore, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- 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
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Homes in Lymore and heat pumps
At about 1 mile from the coast, Lymore is close enough for sea air to matter. 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 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Lymore is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Lymore, we can help with air source heat pumps. We reply to enquiries the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries and Lymore is among them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Lymore
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Lymore?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lymore. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at New Forest council, typically the authority for Lymore first.
Is Lymore 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.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids do not qualify, among other rules.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
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.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Lymore
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address and the type of property
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Looking after your system
So the system stays in good health:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
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.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
A customer’s words
