Why choose a heat pump?

Lower bills, lower carbon, longer lifespan than a boiler.

Lower Running Costs

Heat pumps are 300% efficient — for every 1kW of electricity, you get 3kW of heat. Typical savings of £500–£1,300/year vs gas, oil, or LPG.

£7,500 Grant Available

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers £7,500 of your installation cost. We handle the entire application — you just get the confirmation email.

20+ Year Lifespan

Heat pumps last over 20 years — nearly double a gas boiler. Less maintenance, no annual gas safety checks, fewer breakdowns.

Zero Carbon Heating

Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions. Pair with solar panels for virtually free, zero-carbon heating.

Future-Proof

The gas boiler ban on new builds starts 2025. Heat pumps are the future of home heating — get ahead of the curve.

0% VAT

Heat pump installations are VAT-free until 2027. That's a saving of up to £2,000 on a typical installation.

Heat Pumps in Lymington

Lymington is an affluent coastal town on the edge of the New Forest with a housing stock well suited to heat pumps. There are plenty of detached properties with good garden space for an outdoor unit, a mix of period homes in the old town and modern builds further out, and many properties still running on oil heating. Oil-heated homes see the biggest savings when switching - typically £800-£1,300 per year less in running costs. Lymington's position on the Solent coast means the climate is mild. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, which keeps heat pump efficiency high year-round. COP values above 3.0 are the norm here. The town has a strong sailing community and a generally environmentally aware population. Many homeowners we speak to in Lymington are motivated by both the cost savings and the environmental benefits. Some properties in the older parts of town fall within conservation areas. This does not prevent you from installing a heat pump, but it can affect where the outdoor unit is positioned. We handle this during the survey and know what the local planning team expects. Whether you are in a Georgian townhouse on the High Street, a detached family home near Pennington, or a modern property on one of the newer developments, we can design a system that fits.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.

How much does a heat pump cost in Lymington?
A typical air source heat pump installation costs £10,000-£16,000 before the grant. After the £7,500 BUS grant and with 0% VAT, most homeowners pay between £2,500 and £8,500. Larger properties common in Lymington may need a bigger system, which sits at the higher end of that range.
I'm still on oil. Is it worth switching?
Oil to heat pump is the strongest financial case there is. You will typically save £800-£1,300 per year on running costs, you qualify for the full £7,500 grant, and you get rid of oil deliveries and price volatility for good. Most oil-heated homes already have a hot water cylinder, which makes the installation simpler.
Does the coastal climate help heat pump efficiency?
Yes. Heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air, so milder winters mean higher efficiency. Lymington's coastal position means the air temperature rarely drops below freezing. That keeps the COP (coefficient of performance) consistently above 3.0, meaning you get over 3kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity.
Will a heat pump heat my home properly?
Yes - when properly designed and installed. We carry out detailed heat loss calculations for your specific property and design the system to meet your heating needs. Modern air source heat pumps work efficiently down to -20°C. Your home will be just as warm as with a boiler.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern air source heat pumps operate at around 40-45dB - about the same volume as a fridge or a quiet conversation. Planning rules require units to be no louder than 42dB at the nearest property boundary. We position units carefully to minimise any impact.
Do I qualify for the £7,500 grant?
Most homeowners qualify. You need a valid EPC (we can arrange this), and the property must not be a new build. The grant is available for owner-occupiers, private landlords, and self-builders. Social housing is excluded. We check your eligibility during the free survey.
