Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Salters Heath
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Salters Heath, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Salters Heath questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Salters Heath?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Salters Heath, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Salters Heath within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally 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. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Salters Heath.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The pipe route between the units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The address and the type of property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
If you need air source heat pumps in Salters Heath, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
What air conditioning will not do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Radiator systems
- Air-to-water heat pumps
- Underfloor heating
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas
- Hot water cylinders
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Heat pumps in Salters Heath: local notes
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Pamber Priory Priory Church of the Holy Trinity (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Basingstoke and Deane council) before the heat pump design is finished. The last census (2021) found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like The Vyne about 1.5 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Pamber Priory, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
