About our air source heat pumps in Ovington
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Ovington, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Ovington
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Look out for any of the following:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Period properties close to Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Ovington so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- 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.
- 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.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Ovington questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Ovington?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Ovington, 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Ovington permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Ovington sits inside the Ovington Conservation Area. 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 local planning authority (for Ovington, typically Winchester City council).
Are my radiators big enough for 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 does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
Who is responsible for 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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales: £7,500 for air-to-water (and ground source), and £2,500 for air-to-air with strict conditions. The installer applies.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It takes over from the boiler, and is MCS certified when we install it.
