About our air source heat pumps in Matchams
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Homes around Matchams normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Heat pumps in Matchams: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Avon Tyrrell House lies about 3.6 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Matchams is in Hampshire. From the centre of Matchams to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries, and Matchams is one. Worthing is in our area too, around 62 miles away.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. If a lane or gateway near Matchams is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Matchams
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What electrical work the job needs
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records
- The address and the type of property
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep radiators clear
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
Matchams: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Matchams?
Yes. Matchams is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the heat pump grant available in Matchams?
Matchams is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
