How we handle air source heat pumps in Paulsgrove
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Paulsgrove and the rest of Portsmouth. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If you’re dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
Homes around Paulsgrove normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. Noise is part of the MCS 020(a) check, so we consider nearby homes too.

Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Paulsgrove?
Paulsgrove is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Paulsgrove?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How does the warranty work?
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 you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Heat pumps in Paulsgrove: local notes
Paulsgrove is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 50% of homes in and around Paulsgrove date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Older homes near St Michael and All Angels may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Paulsgrove when you book.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
