How we handle air source heat pumps in Thruxton
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. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Typical jobs include wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a place like Thruxton, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

When to call us in Thruxton
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Visits to Thruxton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems take heat from the air and put it into your central heating and hot water. It takes over from the boiler, and is MCS certified when we install it.
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.

Thruxton questions
Is a heat pump in Thruxton permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Thruxton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Thruxton. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Test Valley council, normally the authority for Thruxton.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Thruxton?
Thruxton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before any work starts.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
A customer’s words
“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.”
