Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stroud
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Stroud and the rest of Hampshire. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for no space for a hot water cylinder and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Stroud that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How the visit works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If a lane or gateway near Stroud is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- File the MCS certificate safely
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Stroud
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Stroud?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Stroud. 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 East Hampshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Stroud first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Stroud?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Stroud, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Stroud in your area?
Yes. We cover Stroud and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
