Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in North Fareham
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and checking emitters for a heat pump.
If your home in or near North Fareham is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.

Air source heat pumps around North Fareham
North Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast. For a heat pump near the sea, ask about any coastal protection option the manufacturer offers. About 53% of homes in and around North Fareham date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central North Fareham. Dean Farmhouse, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around North Fareham’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Fareham council, which normally handles North Fareham where necessary.
Older homes near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Common questions in North Fareham
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in North Fareham?
North Fareham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in North Fareham?
It can, as North Fareham is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.
What happens on the day
On the day, we 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 from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to North Fareham can be planned properly.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
