How we handle air source heat pumps in Northington
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We are often asked to deal with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
For a home around Northington that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
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.

Common problems we fix in Northington
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Period properties close to Church of St John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
Managing agents and facilities teams in Northington
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work 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. For a village like Northington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Common questions in Northington
Is the heat pump grant available in Northington?
Northington is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will a heat pump in Northington need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Northington holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, normally the authority for Northington.
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, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
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 quote is based on that.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
