Air source heat pumps in Aston: the local picture
About 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St James? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If your home is listed, like Longworth House about 3.4 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Air source heat pumps in Aston, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Aston, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
FAQs for Aston
Is a heat pump in Aston permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Aston Conservation Area takes in the middle of Aston. 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 cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with West Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Aston.
Is Aston within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We confirm the timing after the survey, so call us on 07833 053749 to arrange one.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Visits to Aston are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What affects the quote in Aston
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The make and model of the system, from the label

Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
