Air source heat pumps in Wherwell, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for questions about where the outdoor unit can go and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Wherwell, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air source heat pumps around Wherwell
The last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Older homes near Church of St Peter and Holy Cross may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Common questions in Wherwell
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wherwell?
Wherwell is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Wherwell?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Wherwell Conservation Area takes in the middle of Wherwell. 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 Test Valley council, which is typically the planning authority for Wherwell.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
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 that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Wherwell, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many units are involved
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How easy the units are to reach
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
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.”
