Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in South Weirs
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include checking whether planning permission is needed and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around South Weirs that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small, and both cause problems.
After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Book a yearly service
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

South Weirs questions
Is South Weirs within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will a heat pump in South Weirs need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Weirs Conservation Area takes in the middle of South Weirs. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with New Forest council, which is normally the planning authority for South Weirs first.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call 07833 053749 or email us to arrange one.
Homes in South Weirs and heat pumps

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to South Weirs.
