Air source heat pumps in Hensting
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with moving away from fossil-fuel heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
If your home in or near Hensting 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What we’re called out for in Hensting
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Live in one of the older houses around Church of the Holy Trinity? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Heat pumps in Hensting: local notes
About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Elm Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hensting’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Winchester City council, normally the planning authority here.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.
Hensting is about 3 miles north-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Whether you are in the middle of Hensting or further out, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Guildford, around 35 miles away.
Jobs in SO50 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Neighbouring places we cover include Owslebury (1 mile north-east), Owslebury Bottom (1 mile north-east), Baybridge (2 miles east), Morestead (2 miles north) and Lane End (4 miles north-east).

Landmarks near Hensting
In Hensting, that means homes and buildings near Ship Inn, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Shawford station, roughly 2.2 miles north-west of the centre.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Somewhere like Hensting, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: 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.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Hensting questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hensting?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hensting, if they qualify. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you cover smaller places like Hensting?
Yes. Hensting is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
