What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps in South Hayling
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are ageing boilers that will need replacing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Cottages and older homes near South Hayling can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What else we do in South Hayling
How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Around South Hayling, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Advice
South Hayling: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in South Hayling?
It can, as South Hayling is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Hayling?
South Hayling is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Do you cover South Hayling?
Yes. We cover South Hayling and the rest of Hampshire, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Homes in South Hayling and heat pumps
The coast is only about 1 mile from South Hayling. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Hayling, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Havant council, usually the planning authority here. The 2021 Census found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near St Mary's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

When to call us in South Hayling
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Historic houses such as Warblington Castle, about 3.9 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
