Clean, efficient heating for homes across Southampton

Welcome to AES - Expert Heat Pump installers in Southampton

Local Hampshire Specialists for over 35 Years

Are you a property owner in Southampton looking to upgrade your home heating system? With the rising costs of energy and a growing need for sustainable solutions, many Southampton residents are turning to a modern, efficient, and eco-friendly alternative: the air source heat pump.

At AES, we’re a family-run business with over 35 years of expertise in renewable energy based near Romsey. We are dedicated to helping our neighbours in Southampton and the wider Hampshire region make the switch to a cleaner, more cost-effective way to heat their homes.

Winchester’s climate is perfectly suited for air source heat pump technology. The typically mild winters here mean these systems operate at peak efficiency year-round. 

Whilst Hampshire County Council has its own action plan to go carbon neutral by 2050, Southampton City Council doesn’t operate any local incentives or schemes to support private installations. However the good news is that the Government has extended the popular Boiler Upgrade Scheme until the end of 2027. The BUS scheme offers grants of up to £7500 towards the costs of replacing fossil fuel boilers by replacing them with an air source heat pump system.

We are committed to helping homeowners and local businesses in Southampton and the surrounding areas move towards a less-impactful and more sustainable future in a cost effective way.

Give us a call today to learn more about the benefits of air source heat pumps.

  • Strong insulation and efficient emitters (radiators or under-floor) will maximise system performance
