Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Nursling
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating, and common reasons people get in touch are no space for a hot water cylinder and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Whether a home near Nursling has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

After we have gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. Airflow is what it runs on, so keep it clear all year.

Advice
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Nursling
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
If your home is listed, like South Stoneham House about 4 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long

FAQs for Nursling
Is the heat pump grant available in Nursling?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Nursling, if they qualify. 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.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Nursling?
It can. Nursling is within about 2 miles 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
