FAQs for Quarley
Can I fit a heat pump in Quarley without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Quarley Conservation Area takes in the middle of Quarley. 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 Test Valley council, which is normally the planning authority for Quarley first.
Will you come out to Quarley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We confirm eligibility at the survey stage. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify, among other rules.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
About our air source heat pumps in Quarley
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. 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. We’re often asked to deal with comparing heat pump types and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home around Quarley that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If anything does not seem right after installation, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
What happens if it’s left?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Quarley.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Quarley.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Ask for a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
What air conditioning will not do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly.

Air source heat pumps in Quarley: the local picture
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Michael may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
