About our air source heat pumps in Sherfield English
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are deciding on the outdoor unit position and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
Older and listed homes in villages like Sherfield English need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Diary the next service
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
FAQs for Sherfield English
Is a heat pump in Sherfield English permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Sherfield English 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 Test Valley council, which is typically the planning authority for Sherfield English.
Will you come out to Sherfield English?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Sherfield English
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
With Landford Manor about 2.2 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before booking
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Sherfield English.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Sherfield English
About 45% of homes in Sherfield English and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Leonard? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
