Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Air source heat pumps in Aston, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. We are often asked to deal with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and working out where a cylinder could go, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
For a home around Aston 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, on top of the £7,500.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
FAQs for Aston
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Aston?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Aston, if they qualify. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Aston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings and their curtilages are excluded, and listed building consent is a separate matter, so we check for your property.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Aston and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Homes in Aston and heat pumps
VOA council tax data date about 41% of homes in and around Aston to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. The middle of Aston is part of a conservation area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Aston. About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Aston, Culham Court (grade II*) among them. For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Wokingham council, which typically handles Aston where needed.
If your home is listed, like Greenlands about 1 mile north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first.

Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Aston.

- 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.
