About our air source heat pumps in Newnham
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. 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. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about ageing boilers that will need replacing and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
Homes around Newnham usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Questions from Newnham
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Newnham?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Newnham is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit a heat pump in Newnham without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Newnham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Newnham. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Basingstoke and Deane council, which is typically the planning authority for Newnham.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Newnham and across Hampshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Why deal with it now?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Air source heat pumps in Newnham: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes across Newnham and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
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.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Newnham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
Do you need air source heat pumps in Newnham?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.6 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What your quote should include
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
