Heat Pumps in Eastleigh

Eastleigh borough sits between Southampton and Winchester, encompassing the town itself along with popular residential areas like Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Botley, and Fair Oak. The housing stock here is predominantly post-war — large estates of 1950s–1980s semi-detached and detached family homes that are particularly well-suited to heat pump installation. Many of these properties have cavity wall insulation, decent loft insulation, and double glazing already in place, meaning the building fabric is ready for a heat pump without major additional work. Chandler's Ford in particular has generous plot sizes with ample garden space for outdoor unit placement, making installation straightforward. The Eastleigh town centre area has more Victorian and Edwardian terraces, especially around the railway works heritage, and these respond well to heat pumps with proper heat loss assessment and occasionally some radiator upgrades. Hedge End and Botley, on the southern edge of the borough, include newer developments built to modern building regulations — ideal for low-temperature heating systems. Almost all properties in the Eastleigh area are on mains gas, so installations typically involve replacing an ageing gas boiler. With good insulation levels and relatively modern housing stock, Eastleigh homeowners often find their heat pump systems perform at the higher end of the efficiency range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.

How much does a heat pump cost?
A typical installation costs £10,000–£16,000 before the grant. After the £7,500 BUS grant and 0% VAT, most homeowners pay £2,500–£8,500.
Will a heat pump heat my home properly?
Yes — when properly designed and installed. We carry out detailed heat loss calculations for your property.
Do I need to change my radiators?
Not always. We assess every radiator during the survey and only recommend changes where necessary.
How long does installation take?
Most installations take 2–5 days depending on complexity.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern units operate at 40–45dB — about the same as a fridge.
Do I qualify for the £7,500 grant?
Most homeowners qualify. You need a valid EPC, and the property must not be a new build.
