FAQs for Medstead
Is Medstead within the area you cover?
Yes. Medstead is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Medstead?
Medstead is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Air source heat pumps in Medstead, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Medstead and across Hampshire, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. We’re often asked to deal with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
If your home near Medstead has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How it works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Medstead.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call us on 07833 053749.

- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Improving the building’s insulation

What a heat pump looks like in Medstead
On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Medstead; Southdown Old Farmhouse (grade II) is one. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with East Hampshire council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. About 32% of homes in the Medstead area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Bentworth Hall about 2.1 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to Church of the Good Shepherd can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What else we do in Medstead
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Medstead
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The pipe route between the units
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Safe owner checks
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
A customer’s words
“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.”
