- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Comparing heat pump types
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Shawford.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

About our air source heat pumps in Shawford
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Common call-outs are for no space for a hot water cylinder and not knowing whether a grant applies, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
For a home around Shawford that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Heat pumps in Shawford: local notes
About 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If you live near Shawford station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford

Common questions in Shawford
Will a heat pump in Shawford need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Shawford holds about 31 listed buildings and structures. 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 planning department at Winchester City council, usually the authority for Shawford first.
Do you cover smaller places like Shawford?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Shawford
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What state the existing equipment is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
