How we handle air source heat pumps in Sparsholt
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about comparing heat pump types and finding a place for the outdoor unit.
Older and listed homes in villages like Sparsholt need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What kind of system it is
- How easy the units are to reach
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Air source heat pumps around Sparsholt
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 47% of homes in Sparsholt and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Central Sparsholt is inside the Sparsholt Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 22 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Sparsholt; Church of St Stephen (grade II*) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Stephen? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

How it works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. For a place like Sparsholt, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep radiators clear
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.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

Sparsholt: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Sparsholt?
Sparsholt is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover smaller places like Sparsholt?
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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered, so check with the council.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
