Air source heat pumps in Oliver's Battery
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking emitters for a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Oliver's Battery, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What else we do in Oliver's Battery
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep radiators clear
- Book a yearly service
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
If you need air source heat pumps in Oliver's Battery, call 07833 053749. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Oliver's Battery
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
What to look for in a quote
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Oliver's Battery
Can I fit a heat pump in Oliver's Battery without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Oliver's Battery holds about 14 listed buildings and structures. 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 the local planning authority (for Oliver's Battery, usually Winchester City council).
Will you come out to Oliver's Battery?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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 anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Oliver's Battery.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
