About our air source heat pumps in Norleywood
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Typical jobs include checking whether planning permission is needed and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Older and listed homes in villages like Norleywood need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Norleywood so we arrive with what’s needed.
- 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 explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What else we do in Norleywood
Air source heat pumps in Norleywood: the local picture
Norleywood is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The last census (2021) found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Beaulieu Palace House about 3.5 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Norleywood is about 3 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. Norleywood gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. In Hampshire alone we list 683 places and Norleywood is among them. We also work in Worthing, about 48 miles from Norleywood.
From Norleywood Road, Joys Lane and Thatchers Lane to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. Every address in SO41 is covered. Places around Norleywood that are also on our list: East End (1 mile south-east), Thorns Beach (3 miles east), Hamstead (5 miles south-east), Bouldnor (5 miles south) and Yarmouth (5 miles south). Further out, we also cover Gosport (15 miles east), Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (14 miles east) and Totton (10 miles north).

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Norleywood
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What electrical work the job needs
- What kind of system it is
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Common questions in Norleywood
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Norleywood?
It can, as Norleywood is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Norleywood?
It depends on the property. The Forest South East Conservation Area is close to the centre of Norleywood. 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 local planning authority (for Norleywood, normally New Forest council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Quite possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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.
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.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What we are called out for in Norleywood
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
The things we are asked about most are:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
