Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Wittensford
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. 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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are a boiler that’s getting old and not knowing whether a grant applies.
In a place like Wittensford, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

How the job changes from property to property
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.
Questions from Wittensford
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Wittensford?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Forest Central North Conservation Area takes in the middle of Wittensford. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at New Forest council, normally the authority for Wittensford.
Will you come out to Wittensford?
Yes. Wittensford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
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.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
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’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What affects the quote in Wittensford
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The condition of any existing system
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Seal draughts where you can
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
Should you have questions after the install, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Air source heat pumps in Wittensford: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 90% 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.
If your home is listed, like Landford Manor about 4.2 miles north, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

What we do, step by step
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 pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it 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. If a lane or gateway near Wittensford is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
