About our air source heat pumps in Upper Street
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Upper Street typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Homes in Upper Street and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Central Upper Street is inside the Breamore Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 39 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at New Forest council, which normally handles Upper Street where necessary.
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Upper Street questions
Is Upper Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upper Street?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Upper Street, 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Upper Street and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
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 a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
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.
How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. If a lane or gateway near Upper Street is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Upper Street
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- How many units are involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
A customer’s words
“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.”
