Air source heat pumps in Michelmersh: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 45% of homes across Michelmersh and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The Michelmersh Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Michelmersh, within about a third of a mile. About 19 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Michelmersh, Michelmersh Court (grade II*) among them. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Mottisfont Abbey, roughly 1.2 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Michelmersh is about 3 miles north-west of Romsey, in Hampshire. From the centre of Michelmersh to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones.

Air source heat pumps in Michelmersh
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. If the problem is a boiler that’s getting old and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Michelmersh need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How the job changes from property to property
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. Cooling-only units are not included and need a check with the council.
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will explain what it covers.

Michelmersh: your questions answered
Is Michelmersh within the area you cover?
Yes. Michelmersh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Michelmersh?
Michelmersh is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have tighter limits, conservation areas add conditions, and Article 4 directions can remove rights, so we check during the survey.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Michelmersh can be planned properly.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
