Your questions about air source heat pumps in Penton Grafton
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Penton Grafton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Pentons Conservation Area takes in the middle of Penton Grafton. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Penton Grafton, normally Test Valley council) first.
Is Penton Grafton within the area you cover?
Yes. Penton Grafton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Penton Grafton
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We are often asked to deal with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, on underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Penton Grafton, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Penton Grafton.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Homes in Penton Grafton and heat pumps
About 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. If your home is one of the older properties near Holy Trinity Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Related advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
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. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
