Air source heat pumps in Timsbury, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Timsbury and the rest of Hampshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes around Timsbury typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. 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. If a lane or gateway near Timsbury is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Advice
Common questions in Timsbury
Will a heat pump in Timsbury need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Timsbury. 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 Test Valley council, which is usually the planning authority for Timsbury first.
Do you cover smaller places like Timsbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Timsbury and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, currently none: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. The relief is not available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Booking before summer means the work in Timsbury is done before the hot weather.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Homes in Timsbury and heat pumps
About 45% of homes in the Timsbury area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey, about 1.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. 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.

How we price air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The size of the job
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
To get a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
