What affects the quote in North Hayling
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Air source heat pumps in North Hayling, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you are dealing with planning and permitted development questions and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
Homes around North Hayling usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in North Hayling
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in North Hayling?
It can. North Hayling is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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 I fit a heat pump in North Hayling without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of North Hayling is in the St Peter's, Hayling Island Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Havant council, which is typically the planning authority for North Hayling.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What happens if it’s left?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Planning ahead for a job in North Hayling means we can bring everything needed.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to North Hayling easier.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
