How we handle air source heat pumps in Shorthampton
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We’re often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, across air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Shorthampton, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.
FAQs for Shorthampton
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Shorthampton?
Shorthampton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Shorthampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Shorthampton easier.

What a heat pump looks like in Shorthampton
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Shorthampton; Church of All Saints (grade II*) is one. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at West Oxfordshire council, which usually handles Shorthampton.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
