About our air source heat pumps in Popley
We begin with a room-by-room 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 isn’t good enough. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are planning and permitted development questions and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
For a house near Popley, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Popley
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Popley?
Popley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you come out to Popley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep radiators clear
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Popley can be done in one go where possible.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Homes in Popley and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 46% of homes in the Popley area were built in 2000 or later, and about 50% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Popley; Chineham House (grade II) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Older homes near St Gabriel's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. The Vyne lies about 1.6 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
