Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Vernham Street
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Vernham Street and the rest of Hampshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are working out whether radiators need upsizing and not knowing whether a grant applies.
Older and listed homes in villages like Vernham Street need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems, and both cause problems.
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. A £7,500 grant may be available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme for eligible homes, and we apply for it as the installer.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- How many units are involved
- What electrical work the job needs
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The address and the type of property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
If you need air source heat pumps in Vernham Street, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
How it works
Protection comes first: 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. The work on site takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we tidy up before we leave. If a lane or gateway near Vernham Street is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Vernham Street: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Vernham Street?
Vernham Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I fit a heat pump in Vernham Street without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Vernham Street holds about 11 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 the planning department at Test Valley council, typically the authority for Vernham Street.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
