How we handle air source heat pumps in Martin
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about questions about where the outdoor unit can go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
In a place like Martin, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Martin
Do you cover smaller places like Martin?
Yes. Martin is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Martin?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Martin, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
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. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Martin is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diary the next service
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What we are called out for in Martin
An ageing boiler is often the moment people start thinking about a heat pump. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
Heat pumps in Martin: local notes
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Martin, you reach the Martin Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 33 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at New Forest council, which typically handles Martin where needed. The last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
