Your questions about air source heat pumps in Wigley
Will a heat pump in Wigley need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Wigley. 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 the planning department at New Forest council, normally the authority for Wigley.
Is the heat pump grant available in Wigley?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Wigley, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do you cover Wigley?
Yes. We cover Wigley and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Who is responsible for 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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Air source heat pumps in Wigley
We install air source heat pumps in Wigley 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 will explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
If your home in or near Wigley is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Existing cylinders may not be suitable for a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
After we’ve gone
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep radiators clear
- File the MCS certificate safely
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Homes in Wigley and heat pumps
About 40% of homes in Wigley and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 38% of households in terraced houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
Landford Manor lies about 4.4 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
