Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Monk Sherborne
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is working out where a cylinder could go and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Monk Sherborne need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Book a yearly service
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
Monk Sherborne: your questions answered
Will you come out to Monk Sherborne?
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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Monk Sherborne?
Monk Sherborne is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Monk Sherborne.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

When it’s something else
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They do not heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
Air source heat pumps around Monk Sherborne
The centre of Monk Sherborne lies within the Monk Sherborne Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Monk Sherborne. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Monk Sherborne, including Church of All Saints (grade I). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (typically Basingstoke and Deane council). Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 47% of homes in the Monk Sherborne area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 41% of households in terraced houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important.
The Vyne lies about 1.7 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
