How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter and we check what applies to you.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so the work is clear.
About our air source heat pumps in Newfound
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include not knowing whether a grant applies and a boiler that’s getting old, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Newfound is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What else we do in Newfound
Newfound questions
Will you come out to Newfound?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Newfound?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Newfound is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Newfound are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What a heat pump looks like in Newfound
About 49 miles out from central London, Newfound is part of the South East area we work across. About 40% of homes in and around Newfound date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
The Vyne, roughly 4.8 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. Period properties close to St John's can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Newfound is about 3 miles west of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. From the centre of Newfound to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones.

Local landmarks in Newfound
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Fox pub and Bishop Challoner Catholic Secondary School. For rail, the closest station is Basingstoke station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include The Malls (3.5 miles east) and Willis Museum (3.5 miles east). The countryside around Newfound includes Daneshill Park Woods and Farleigh Hill.
Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
