Heat pumps in South Ham: local notes
About 47 miles out from central London, South Ham is part of the South East area we work across. VOA council tax data date about 48% of homes in South Ham and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 35% of households in terraced houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
Period properties close to Saint Peter's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

About our air source heat pumps in South Ham
We install air source heat pumps in South Ham and across Hampshire, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding on the outdoor unit position and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
For a house near South Ham, space outside is rarely the problem, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we are called out for in South Ham
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application, rather than rushing a replacement in winter.
Look out for any of the following:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
The Vyne, roughly 3.5 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Common questions in South Ham
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Ham?
South Ham is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover South Ham for air source heat pumps?
Yes. South Ham is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
