How we handle air source heat pumps in Chineham
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If you’re dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
Homes around Chineham usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Air source heat pumps in Chineham: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 31% of homes across Chineham and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
The Vyne lies about 2 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around Christ Church Chineham? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to a place like Chineham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote

Common questions in Chineham
Do you cover smaller places like Chineham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Chineham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Chineham is a short walk from the Old Basing Conservation Area. 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 Basingstoke and Deane council, which is typically the planning authority for Chineham.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Chineham and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Chineham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What kind of system it is
- The pipe route between the units
- The size of the job
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
