Air source heat pumps in Morestead
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about questions about where the outdoor unit can go and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
In a place like Morestead, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Morestead.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- 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.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

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.

After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.

Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Live in one of the older houses around Morestead Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

FAQs for Morestead
Do you cover smaller places like Morestead?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Morestead without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Morestead holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Morestead, usually Winchester City council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you’re eligible.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.

What affects the quote in Morestead
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The pipe route between the units
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
