Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Baulking.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Baulking
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If you’re dealing with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
For a home around Baulking that is 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common problems we fix in Baulking
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

FAQs for Baulking
Will you come out to Baulking?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Baulking?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Baulking sits inside the Baulking Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Vale of White Horse council, usually the authority for Baulking first.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Baulking and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Homes in Baulking and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 32% of homes in the Baulking area were built in 2000 or later. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes.
Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
