Air source heat pumps in Shobley
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and a boiler that’s getting old.
Older and listed homes in villages like Shobley need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How it works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Shobley easier.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air source heat pumps around Shobley
About 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Avon Tyrrell House, roughly 3.9 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Common questions in Shobley
Will you come out to Shobley?
Yes. Shobley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will a heat pump in Shobley need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Shobley is a short walk from the Western Escarpment Conservation Area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at New Forest council, normally the authority for Shobley.
Will my radiators work with 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules

- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract

To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

A customer’s words
“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.”
