Air source heat pumps in Midanbury
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is checking emitters for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can sort it out.
Older homes around Midanbury can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Questions from Midanbury
Is the heat pump grant available in Midanbury?
Midanbury is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Midanbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Keep radiators clear
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

Homes in Midanbury and heat pumps
At about 3 miles from the coast, Midanbury is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 40% of homes in Midanbury and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Midanbury. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Southampton council, which normally handles Midanbury where necessary.
If you live near Bitterne station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It can’t be within the curtilage of a listed building.
What we’re called out for in Midanbury
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of Ascension, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
