Air Source Heat Pumps in Bledington
Air source heat pumps across Bledington and nearby, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off and a fixed price agreed before work begins.
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
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. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Bledington so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Bledington
We install air source heat pumps in Bledington and across Oxfordshire, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is comparing heat pump types and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
For a home around Bledington that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Heat pumps in Bledington: local notes
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Leonard, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Chastleton House lies about 4 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Bledington is about 10 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. Our engineers cover Bledington for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Oxfordshire. Bledington is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work. The nearest of our city pages is Guildford, around 65 miles from Bledington.
Work in OX7 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Main Street, Station Road and Old Forge Close and the roads off them are all inside our area. Neighbouring places we cover include Kingham (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Witney (10 miles south-east), Carterton (10 miles south), Chipping Norton (5 miles north-east) and Woodstock (13 miles east).
What’s near Bledington
The nearest railway station is Kingham station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Moore Cottage Hospital (4.9 miles west) and Park House Toy Collectors Museum (3.7 miles north-west).
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Heat loss surveys
A heat loss survey measures how much heat each room loses on a cold day. Everything else is sized from it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bledington
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Bledington.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires
- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
- Every job looked at before it’s priced
FAQs for Bledington
Is a heat pump in Bledington permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Bledington Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bledington. 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 local planning authority (for Bledington, normally West Oxfordshire council) first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bledington?
Bledington is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you cover Bledington?
Yes. We cover Bledington and across Oxfordshire, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
