Air source heat pumps in Burghclere
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include working out whether radiators need upsizing and comparing heat pump types, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
For a home around Burghclere that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

On site, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Burghclere, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.

Related advice
Burghclere: your questions answered
Will you come out to Burghclere?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will a heat pump in Burghclere need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Burghclere holds about 13 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Burghclere.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
For homes, currently none: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. The relief isn’t available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Air source heat pumps around Burghclere
The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Highclere Castle about 1.9 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Ascension? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
