Air source heat pumps in New Alresford, done properly
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are a boiler that’s getting old and checking whether planning permission is needed.
For a house near New Alresford, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in New Alresford
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John the Baptist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Around New Alresford, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

FAQs for New Alresford
Is New Alresford within the area you cover?
Yes. New Alresford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in New Alresford permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The New Alresford Conservation Area is close to the centre of New Alresford. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Winchester City council, normally the authority for New Alresford.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Will you make a mess?
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.
