Air source heat pumps in North End: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, North End is close enough for sea air to matter. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 63% of homes in the North End area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 57% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Live in one of the older houses around St. Mark’s? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Air source heat pumps in North End, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in North End and across Portsmouth, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and not knowing whether a grant applies, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Cottages and older homes near North End can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms 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 we price air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How many units are involved
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.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your installation or service records
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near North End.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in North End
Will you come out to North End?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will a heat pump in North End need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of North End. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Portsmouth council, typically the authority for North End first.
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 means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in North End and across Portsmouth. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.

When to call us in North End
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
