Aston Rowant: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Aston Rowant?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Aston Rowant 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Aston Rowant?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Aston Rowant
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If you are dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Aston Rowant, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Aston Rowant
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Aston Rowant
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A boiler that is getting old
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Before booking anyone
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Aston Rowant so we arrive with what’s needed.

Advice
Heat pumps in Aston Rowant: local notes
Aston Rowant’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Aston Rowant Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Aston Rowant. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Peter and St Paul (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Adwell House about 2 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
