Questions from Romsey
Is Romsey in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Romsey is part of that. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Romsey?
Romsey is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Romsey
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
In a town like Romsey, most heat pump enquiries are for houses heated by a gas boiler. We survey the heat loss, radiators, hot water and the outdoor unit position, then design and quote.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Heat pumps in Romsey: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Crown House (grade II). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? Romsey is about 69 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Period properties close to St Swithun's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 4 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Romsey is about 6 miles west of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Romsey gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Count every place we list in Hampshire and you reach 683, with Romsey on the list. We also work in Guildford, about 43 miles from Romsey.
Getting to Romsey is easy by the A27 and A3057. If you need air source heat pumps at a property on Station Road, Corn Market and Ashley Meadows or a nearby road, our engineers can take on the work. We also cover the places around Romsey: North Baddesley (2 miles south-east), Toothill (2 miles south), Ashfield (2 miles south), Lee (2 miles south) and Upton (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (8 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Andover (15 miles north) and Totton (5 miles south).

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We book visits in Romsey at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear access to the fuse board
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- A single visit or a regular plan
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Your installation or service records
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
