An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Covering Bournemouth and nearby
Bournemouth has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.
We work across Bournemouth's postcode districts, including BH1, BH2, BH7 and BH10. Neighbouring towns we cover include Christchurch, Poole and New Milton. Buildings across Dorset range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Units selected for low-temperature heating output
- Outdoor units positioned for air flow and defrost drainage
- Controls with schedules and set-back temperatures
- Commissioning and handover
- Running-cost guidance against your current heating

How it works in Bournemouth
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. We keep work areas in Bournemouth screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Bournemouth
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Leased premises
If your Bournemouth premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Building fabric
Draughty or poorly insulated premises need more heating capacity; simple draught-proofing can reduce the size needed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bournemouth often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Premises we work in around Bournemouth
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Does it work in freezing weather?

Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
