Air source heat pumps in Woodgreen, done properly
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 are dealing with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
Homes around Woodgreen normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes and the installer applies.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Questions from Woodgreen
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Woodgreen?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Woodgreen is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Woodgreen without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Western Escarpment Conservation Area takes in the middle of Woodgreen. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at New Forest council, usually the authority for Woodgreen.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What a heat pump looks like in Woodgreen
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around St Boniface? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Breamore House, roughly 1.5 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Horse and Groom pub and The Burgate School and Sixth Form. Well-known places in the area include Godshill Castle Hill (0.9 miles south-west) and Fordingbridge Museum (2.5 miles south-west).
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work 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. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Woodgreen.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
