Air source heat pumps in Warborne
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. Common call-outs are for moving away from fossil-fuel heating and no space for a hot water cylinder, across radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Older and listed homes in villages like Warborne need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Warborne can be planned properly.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice

What else we do in Warborne
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- File the MCS certificate safely
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Warborne
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Warborne?
Warborne is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Warborne?
It can, as Warborne is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is Warborne in your area?
Yes. We cover Warborne and across Hampshire, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Warborne and across Hampshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the quote in Warborne
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Homes in Warborne and heat pumps
At about 2 miles from the coast, Warborne is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The 2021 Census found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The middle of Warborne is part of the Forest South East Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Warborne and it takes in 3 conservation areas. About 5 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Warborne, Southlands School (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at New Forest council, which normally handles Warborne before the heat pump design is finished.
Beaulieu Palace House, roughly 4.9 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Saint Nicholas Chapel can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Warborne is about 1 mile north of Lymington, in Hampshire.
