Air source heat pumps for Owslebury, from F-Gas certified engineers, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. Enquiries answered the same working day.
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
About our air source heat pumps in Owslebury
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is working out whether radiators need upsizing and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
For a home around Owslebury 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Common questions in Owslebury
Will you come out to Owslebury?
Yes. Owslebury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Owslebury?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Owslebury. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Owslebury, normally Winchester City council) first.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief is not available to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
What a heat pump looks like in Owslebury
The 2021 Census found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to Church of St Andrew can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What else we do in Owslebury
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Owslebury.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
