Air source heat pumps in Headbourne Worthy
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If the problem is replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
Homes around Headbourne Worthy usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Headbourne Worthy
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How many units are involved
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Headbourne Worthy can be planned properly.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Questions from Headbourne Worthy
Do you cover smaller places like Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Headbourne Worthy, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Who is responsible for 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 will work out which band applies to yours.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
Often not in England, as many heat pumps on houses are permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.

On the National Heritage List, around 30 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Headbourne Worthy; Church of St Swithin (grade I) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
