Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Whitchurch
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 anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can help.
Whether a home near Whitchurch has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Around Whitchurch, access is typically simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.

How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Homes in Whitchurch and heat pumps
The last census (2021) found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The centre of Whitchurch lies within the Whitchurch Conservation Area. In the mile around Whitchurch’s centre, 3 conservation areas have been designated. About 52 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Whitchurch, Town Hall (grade II*) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Basingstoke and Deane council, typically the planning authority here where needed.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Hallows, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Homeowners near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

What else we do in Whitchurch
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The equipment or parts the job needs
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Whitchurch questions
Do you cover smaller places like Whitchurch?
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 the heat pump grant available in Whitchurch?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Whitchurch is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
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 maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
