Air source heat pumps around Aston Tirrold
About 42% of homes in Aston Tirrold and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 72% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Brightwell Manor about 3.3 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Aston Tirrold
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you’re dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
Older and listed homes in villages like Aston Tirrold need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Aston Tirrold
Will a heat pump in Aston Tirrold need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Aston Tirrold and Aston Upthorpe Conservation Area takes in the middle of Aston Tirrold. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask South Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Aston Tirrold.
Is the heat pump grant available in Aston Tirrold?
Aston Tirrold is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is Aston Tirrold in your area?
Yes. We cover Aston Tirrold and the rest of Oxfordshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
When to call us in Aston Tirrold
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Michael, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Book a yearly service
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Somewhere like Aston Tirrold, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
