Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Upper Burgate
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you’re dealing with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
Homes around Upper Burgate normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What else we do in Upper Burgate
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Upper Burgate
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The pipe route between the units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How many units are involved
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
For air source heat pumps in Upper Burgate, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some pictures if they’re to hand. We reply the same working day.
Common questions in Upper Burgate
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upper Burgate?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Upper Burgate, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Upper Burgate?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Upper Burgate. 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 local planning authority (for Upper Burgate, usually New Forest council).
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before we start.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
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. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Upper Burgate, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What a heat pump looks like in Upper Burgate
The 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Breamore House about 1.6 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Woodgreen Methodist Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
