Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in West Town
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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 comparing heat pump types and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Homes around West Town normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, 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.

Do you need air source heat pumps in West Town?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
Older homes near St Mary's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Air source heat pumps around West Town
West Town lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The last census (2021) found about 69% 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.
Warblington Castle, roughly 3.9 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

FAQs for West Town
Is a heat pump in West Town permitted development?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of West Town holds about 10 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Havant council, which is normally the planning authority for West Town first.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in West Town?
It can. West Town is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. The system has to replace the fossil-fuel heating and heat the whole home with an MCS certified installer.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in West Town and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How it works
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 anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like West Town.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
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 many jobs can be priced from that.
