How we handle air source heat pumps in Sutton Scotney
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Sutton Scotney need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. For a village like Sutton Scotney, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.

FAQs for Sutton Scotney
Will a heat pump in Sutton Scotney need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Sutton Scotney is in the Sutton Scotney Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Winchester City council, which is typically the planning authority for Sutton Scotney.
Will you come out to Sutton Scotney?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it cannot replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids don’t qualify and other conditions apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.

What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Any radiator changes are set out in the quote, so the work is clear.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. Work in Sutton Scotney is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
