Homes in Privett and heat pumps
About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
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. Hinton Ampner House, roughly 5 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Privett
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you are dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Privett need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Privett
Will you come out to Privett?
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.
Is a heat pump in Privett permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Privett is a short walk from the Privett Conservation Area. 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 East Hampshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Privett first.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How we price air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
If you need air source heat pumps in Privett, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
Different systems, different jobs
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The installer applies.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
What air conditioning won’t do
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Air-to-water heat pumps

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the trip to Privett around you.
- 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
