Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Farleigh Wallop
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and no space for a hot water cylinder, we can help.
For a home around Farleigh Wallop that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Farleigh Wallop questions
Is a heat pump in Farleigh Wallop permitted development?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Farleigh Wallop holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, typically the authority for Farleigh Wallop.
Do you cover smaller places like Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to book it.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales though not every home qualifies.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone.

- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.

How we price air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What kind of system it is
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
What a heat pump looks like in Farleigh Wallop
VOA council tax data show about 38% of homes in and around Farleigh Wallop were built in 2000 or later, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St. Andrew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Hall Place, about 5 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
