Air source heat pumps in West End, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
If your home near West End has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
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. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air source heat pumps in West End: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 67% 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.
Older homes near Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as South Stoneham House, about 1.7 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Common questions in West End
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in West End?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central West End is a short walk from the Orchards Way, West End Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with Eastleigh council, which is usually the planning authority for West End.
Do you cover smaller places like West End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Which brands do you work with?
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 explain why.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Diary the next service
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If anything does not seem right after installation, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near West End.
