Air source heat pumps in The Hangers
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. If you are dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like The Hangers need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Questions from The Hangers
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in The Hangers?
The Hangers is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in The Hangers?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of The Hangers holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 Winchester City council, which is typically the planning authority for The Hangers first.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Is The Hangers in your area?
Yes. The Hangers is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in The Hangers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Work in The Hangers is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

What a heat pump looks like in The Hangers
Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we’re MCS certified. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Leave it or put it right?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
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 play a part.

Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Book a yearly service
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
