Why Switch

Why choose a heat pump?

Lower bills, lower carbon, longer lifespan than a boiler.

Lower Running Costs

Heat pumps are 300% efficient — for every 1kW of electricity, you get 3kW of heat. Typical savings of £500–£1,300/year vs gas, oil, or LPG.

£7,500 Grant Available

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers £7,500 of your installation cost. We handle the entire application — you just get the confirmation email.

20+ Year Lifespan

Heat pumps last over 20 years — nearly double a gas boiler. Less maintenance, no annual gas safety checks, fewer breakdowns.

Zero Carbon Heating

Heat pumps produce no on-site emissions. Pair with solar panels for virtually free, zero-carbon heating.

Future-Proof

The gas boiler ban on new builds starts 2025. Heat pumps are the future of home heating — get ahead of the curve.

0% VAT

Heat pump installations are VAT-free until 2027. That's a saving of up to £2,000 on a typical installation.

Heat Pumps in Andover

Andover sits in the Test Valley in north Hampshire, with a town centre that mixes Georgian and Victorian architecture with post-war housing and newer estates on the outskirts. Most properties in town are on the gas grid, so the typical installation here is a straightforward gas boiler replacement. The good mix of detached and semi-detached homes means there is usually plenty of space for an outdoor unit. Head a few miles out of town towards Salisbury Plain and the picture changes. Many of the surrounding villages and rural properties are off-gas, running on oil or LPG. These homes are often the strongest candidates for a heat pump because the running cost savings compared to oil are significant, and the £7,500 BUS grant applies. Andover has also seen a lot of new-build development in recent years, and while new builds are not eligible for the grant, many homeowners on slightly older estates from the 2000s and 2010s are good candidates. Well-insulated homes with decent radiators can switch to a heat pump with minimal additional work. We cover all of north Hampshire and regularly work in Andover and the surrounding Test Valley villages.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the most common heat pump questions.

How much does a heat pump cost in Andover?
A typical air source heat pump installation costs £10,000-£16,000 before the grant. After the £7,500 BUS grant and with 0% VAT, most homeowners pay between £2,500 and £8,500. The exact cost depends on your property size, whether radiators need upgrading, and the complexity of the installation.
Will a heat pump heat my home properly?
Yes - when properly designed and installed. We carry out detailed heat loss calculations for your specific property and design the system to meet your heating needs. Modern air source heat pumps work efficiently down to -20°C. Your home will be just as warm as with a gas boiler.
I'm on oil heating near Salisbury Plain. Can I switch?
Oil-heated homes are some of the best candidates for heat pumps. You will save more on running costs than a gas switch, and you qualify for the full £7,500 BUS grant. Most rural properties already have a hot water cylinder, which makes the installation simpler. We regularly convert oil-heated homes across the Test Valley villages.
How long does installation take?
Most installations take 2-5 days. A straightforward swap from a gas boiler with no radiator changes might take 2-3 days. More complex installations involving radiator upgrades, new hot water cylinders, or extensive pipework can take up to 5 days.
Are heat pumps noisy?
Modern air source heat pumps operate at around 40-45dB - about the same volume as a fridge or a quiet conversation. Planning rules require units to be no louder than 42dB at the nearest property boundary. We position units carefully to minimise any impact.
Do I qualify for the £7,500 grant?
Most homeowners qualify. You need a valid EPC (we can arrange this), and the property must not be a new build. The grant is available for owner-occupiers, private landlords, and self-builders. Social housing is excluded. We check your eligibility during the free survey.
