About our air source heat pumps in Tinkers Cross
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Typical jobs include radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and no space for a hot water cylinder, on radiator systems, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Tinkers Cross usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell 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.

Air source heat pumps in Tinkers Cross: the local picture
The 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 2.2 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Tinkers Cross is in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the SP6 postcode area, we can help with air source heat pumps. Our list for Hampshire has 683 entries, and Tinkers Cross is one. Our Guildford page covers places nearby (57 miles or so).

Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Leave it or put it right?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Questions from Tinkers Cross
Can I fit a heat pump in Tinkers Cross without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tinkers Cross. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Tinkers Cross, usually New Forest council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Tinkers Cross?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Tinkers Cross, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
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 means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Is Tinkers Cross in your area?
Yes. We cover Tinkers Cross and the rest of Hampshire, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Tinkers Cross, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Pricing air source heat pumps in Tinkers Cross
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The pipe route between the units
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
