What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Portsmouth Point.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re 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.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Portsmouth Point
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Portsmouth Point 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 help you work out which suits your home. If you are dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Homes around Portsmouth Point normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, 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’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we are called out for in Portsmouth Point
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home

FAQs for Portsmouth Point
Is the heat pump grant available in Portsmouth Point?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Portsmouth Point 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Portsmouth Point within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

Heat pumps in Portsmouth Point: local notes
Portsmouth Point lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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 37% of homes in the Portsmouth Point area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households live in flats. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. Portsmouth Point’s centre falls inside the Old Portsmouth Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Portsmouth Point and it takes in 13 conservation areas. About 141 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Portsmouth Point, Cathedral Church of St Thomas (grade I) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Portsmouth council, which typically handles Portsmouth Point where needed.
If your home is near Portsmouth Harbour station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
