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.

How a job in Totton works
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 Totton we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
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.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Totton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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).
