How we handle air source heat pumps in West Meon
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If you’re dealing with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
Homes around West Meon 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. 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.

Common questions in West Meon
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in West Meon?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including West Meon, if they qualify. 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 are MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in West Meon?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the West Meon Conservation Area, close to central West Meon. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Winchester City council, which is typically the planning authority for West Meon.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.

What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us.

We plan the trip to West Meon around you.

- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.

Advice
What affects the quote in West Meon
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do you need air source heat pumps in West Meon?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Working out where a cylinder could go
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John the Evangelist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What your quote should include
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether extra work needs your approval first

What else we do in West Meon
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
