About our air source heat pumps in Pennington
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are checking emitters for a heat pump and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Cottages and older homes near Pennington can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Pennington.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Pennington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The fuse board and where it is in the property

What a heat pump looks like in Pennington
Pennington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. About 16 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Pennington, White Hart Inn (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at New Forest council, which usually handles Pennington before the heat pump design is finished. About 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Mark can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

FAQs for Pennington
Do you cover smaller places like Pennington?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Pennington?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Pennington is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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.
What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
