Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- File the MCS certificate safely
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps in Baughurst
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We’re often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Baughurst is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What else we do in Baughurst
Homes in Baughurst and heat pumps
About 47% of homes across Baughurst and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 67% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Baughurst, Corner Cottage (grade II) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Basingstoke and Deane council, typically the planning authority here where necessary.
Live in one of the older houses around Saint Mary's Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

FAQs for Baughurst
Is the heat pump grant available in Baughurst?
Baughurst is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you come out to Baughurst?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Baughurst
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
The Vyne lies about 4.6 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- What records you get at the end
Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
