What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Air source heat pumps in Wickham Common, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Wickham Common and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include a boiler that’s getting old and comparing heat pump types, across hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Wickham Common.

Common questions in Wickham Common
Is Wickham Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Wickham Common for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Wickham Common is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why act early in Wickham Common
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.

Heat pumps in Wickham Common: local notes
About 63 miles out from central London, Wickham Common is part of the South East area we work across. About 53% of homes in and around Wickham Common have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
