How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Upper Farringdon.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Air source heat pumps in Upper Farringdon
We install air source heat pumps in Upper Farringdon and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for planning and permitted development questions and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
For a home around Upper Farringdon that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Farringdon
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
After we’ve gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.

Common questions in Upper Farringdon
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upper Farringdon?
Upper Farringdon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Upper Farringdon?
It depends on the property. Central Upper Farringdon sits inside the Farringdon Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at East Hampshire council, typically the authority for Upper Farringdon.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to book it.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Upper Farringdon
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. 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 where the home is eligible.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
