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.

From enquiry to handover in Christchurch
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. In Christchurch we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Christchurch
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Christchurch 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.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Who we work with in Christchurch
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Questions about air-to-air heat pumps in Christchurch
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Christchurch?
Guide prices in Christchurch run from about £1,695 to £4,095 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) costs £4,650–£14,050 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole?
Yes. Alongside Christchurch, we also cover Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Christchurch?
All of them, including BH23, GL16 and PE14. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Can air conditioning really heat a building?
Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.
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.
