About our air source heat pumps in Privett
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and checking whether planning permission is needed, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders.
For a house near Privett, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Privett.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The size of the job
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
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 have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Common questions in Privett
Will you come out to Privett?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Privett?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Privett. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Privett, usually Gosport council).
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Heat pumps in Privett: local notes
Privett 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. VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes across Privett and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup.
Live in one of the older houses around St Faith's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
From one of our customers
“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.”
