Air source heat pumps in Upper Kingston, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Older and listed homes in villages like Upper Kingston need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Upper Kingston
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How easy the units are to reach
- The pipe route between the units
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Before you get in touch
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures and we look at it during the survey.
Hot water cylinders
The cylinder size depends on how much hot water the household uses.
What a heat pump looks like in Upper Kingston
About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Upper Kingston, Crowe Farmhouse (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with New Forest council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Avon Tyrrell House lies about 2.6 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If your home is one of the older properties near Trinity Congregational Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Upper Kingston
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Kingston?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Upper Kingston?
Upper Kingston 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Should you have questions after the install, call 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
