- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out where a cylinder could go
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It 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, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Upper Common.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Upper Common, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If you’re dealing with finding a place for the outdoor unit and planning and permitted development questions, we can sort it out.
For a home around Upper Common 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Common questions in Upper Common
Will you come out to Upper Common?
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.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Upper Common?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 6 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Upper Common. 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 needed, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Upper Common.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. It won’t apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler as it has to meet the full heating demand.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Air source heat pumps around Upper Common
About 38% of homes across Upper Common and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Hall Place, roughly 3.9 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near Church of St. Martin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diary the next service
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand

Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, which is why radiator sizing is part of the survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
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.”
