Air source heat pumps in Wolverton, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If you are dealing with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can sort it out.
For a home around Wolverton that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What air conditioning will not do
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Any gas work on the existing boiler

Wolverton: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Wolverton?
Wolverton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is a heat pump in Wolverton permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Wolverton sits inside a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Dover council, typically the authority for Wolverton.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you cover Wolverton?
Yes. Our engineers work in Wolverton, as part of our area across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They don’t heat hot water so you’ll need another way to heat it.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Wolverton?
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
What we’re most often called about:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Air source heat pumps around Wolverton
At about 3 miles from the coast, Wolverton is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The last census (2021) found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Acrise Place about 4.6 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
