Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Warnford
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and working out where a cylinder could go.
If your home in or near Warnford is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work 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. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Warnford.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

FAQs for Warnford
Is the heat pump grant available in Warnford?
Warnford 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is a heat pump in Warnford permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Warnford. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Winchester City council, which is typically the planning authority for Warnford.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.
Do I need new radiators for 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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you work in Warnford?
Yes. We cover Warnford and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Before you call an engineer
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.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Book a yearly service
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Do you need air source heat pumps in Warnford?
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.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Hinton Ampner House lies about 3.1 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
