Air source heat pumps in Owslebury Bottom
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder, on radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Owslebury Bottom, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

After we have gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

What else we do in Owslebury Bottom
Owslebury Bottom: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Owslebury Bottom?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Owslebury Bottom. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Owslebury Bottom, typically Winchester City council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Owslebury Bottom?
Owslebury Bottom is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Owslebury Bottom in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Owslebury Bottom included.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 and we will give you a straight answer.

- Air-to-water heat pumps

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, 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. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Owslebury Bottom.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

From one of our customers
