Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Totford
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you are dealing with planning and permitted development questions and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
In a place like Totford, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the 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 and it’s worth keeping safe.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Totford
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The pipe route between the units
- The size of the job
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The address and the type of property
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749.
When to call us in Totford
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Look out for any of the following:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
What to look for in a quote
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day

Totford: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Totford without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Totford holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Totford.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Totford?
Totford is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Totford and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Is Totford in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Totford included.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Totford is tight for a van, let us know and we will 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
