Heat pump installation in Wherwell Wood, Hampshire
Air source heat pumps in Wherwell Wood from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Wherwell Wood.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Air source heat pumps in Wherwell Wood
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
In a place like Wherwell Wood, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Wherwell Wood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wherwell Wood?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wherwell Wood?
Wherwell Wood is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Wherwell Wood
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The pipe route between the units
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What a heat pump looks like in Wherwell Wood
About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Wherwell Wood; Whitehouse (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Test Valley council, which normally handles Wherwell Wood before the heat pump design is finished.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Older homes near Church of St Peter may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Wherwell Wood is about 3 miles south-east of Andover, in Hampshire.

Around Wherwell Wood
Around Wherwell Wood, our work takes us to homes and businesses near White Lion Public House and Winton Community Academy. For rail, the closest station is Andover station, about 2.9 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Andover War Memorial Hospital (3.2 miles north-west) and Andover Museum (2.6 miles north). Not far away are Mill Lake and Anton Lakes.
For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
