How we handle air source heat pumps in South Town
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near South Town, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Heat pumps in South Town: local notes
About 49 miles out from central London, South Town is part of the South East area we work across. About 32% of homes across South Town and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 87% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Andrew, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Bentworth Hall lies about 1.4 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
South Town is about 4 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Our engineers cover South Town for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Hampshire. In Hampshire alone we list 683 places, and South Town is one. We also work in Guildford, around 23 miles away.

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work 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. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in South Town.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
What air conditioning won’t do
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Improving the building’s insulation
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

FAQs for South Town
Do you cover smaller places like South Town?
Yes. South Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.

Yes. South Town is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do I need new radiators for 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 so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
From one of our customers
“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.”
