Gas Safe registered plumbing and heating contractors serving Petersfield and East Hampshire. Boiler installations, system design, underfloor heating and more.
Petersfield sits inside the South Downs National Park, and that single fact shapes more heating installations here than anything else about the town.
External plant gets closer planning scrutiny inside the Park than it would elsewhere in Hampshire. Heat pump units, flue terminals and replacement oil tanks all come under it, particularly on elevations visible from the street or from open countryside, and the conservation area around the Square and Sheet Street adds a further layer in the town centre. It rarely stops a project, but it changes where equipment can sit, and finding that out early is a great deal cheaper than finding it out late.
The housing runs from Georgian and Victorian property in the centre through interwar and post-war stock to modern estates on the edges. The villages around the town are largely off the gas grid, so oil-fired heating is common across Steep, Stroud, Langrish, East Meon, Buriton, Sheet and Liss.
We get asked constantly whether switching from oil to a heat pump is worth it. The honest answer depends entirely on the building. In a property that has been insulated and can take larger emitters, a heat pump works well. In a draughty period house with no fabric improvements, it will underperform and cost more to run than the oil system it replaced. We do the heat loss survey before recommending either way.

Petersfield is inside the South Downs National Park, so external units, flue terminals and oil tanks face closer scrutiny than elsewhere in Hampshire, especially on elevations visible from the street or open countryside. It rarely stops a job, but it does change where things go, so it is better established early.
It depends on the building, and we will not pretend otherwise. In a property that has been insulated and can take larger radiators, a heat pump performs well. In an unimproved period house it will disappoint. We carry out a heat loss survey before recommending either way.
