Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump and we tell you if it needs replacing.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Air source heat pumps in Waterlooville, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and checking whether planning permission is needed, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Most homes around Waterlooville have space for the outdoor unit, and it needs to meet the MCS noise check to be permitted development.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We book visits in Waterlooville at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Heat pumps in Waterlooville: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Waterlooville. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. VOA council tax data date about 49% of homes in Waterlooville and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Saint George's may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. With Warblington Castle about 4 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Questions from Waterlooville
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Waterlooville?
It can. Waterlooville is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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.
Do you cover Waterlooville for air source heat pumps?
Yes. Waterlooville is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
