How we handle air source heat pumps in Ludgershall
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can help.
Whether a home near Ludgershall has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Ludgershall
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ludgershall?
Ludgershall is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Ludgershall within the area you cover?
Yes. Ludgershall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
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 is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
Should you have questions after the install, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Heat pumps in Ludgershall: local notes
About 43% of homes in Ludgershall and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 60% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The Ludgershall Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Ludgershall, within about a third of a mile. Historic England lists about 15 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ludgershall, including Church of St James (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Test Valley council, usually the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St James? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

What else we do in Ludgershall
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Ludgershall.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
