Your questions about air source heat pumps in Middleton
Do you cover smaller places like Middleton?
Yes. Middleton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Middleton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Middleton, 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Air source heat pumps in Middleton, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Middleton, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Middleton
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Middleton.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

System by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.

Homes in Middleton and heat pumps
The centre of Middleton lies within the Longparish Conservation Area. Church of St Nicholas, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 37 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Middleton’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t 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 Test Valley council, normally the planning authority here where necessary. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 81% of homes in the Middleton area were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Middleton is about 4 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. We cover Middleton for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Hampshire. Count every place we list in Hampshire and you reach 683, with Middleton on the list. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 35 miles from Middleton.

Near you in Middleton
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Plough Inn and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 3.7 miles north-east. A little further out are Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.8 miles west) and Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.4 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
Why it’s worth doing now in Middleton
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
