How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What electrical work the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bletchingdon
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Common call-outs are for moving away from fossil-fuel heating and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, across hot water cylinders, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Bletchingdon, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Bletchingdon
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Older homes near Church of St Giles may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
What air conditioning will not do
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Improving the building’s insulation
If you’re not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What a heat pump looks like in Bletchingdon
About 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The Bletchingdon Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Bletchingdon. In the mile around Bletchingdon’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Home Farmhouse, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 31 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Bletchingdon’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
With Blenheim Palace about 3.9 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

FAQs for Bletchingdon
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bletchingdon?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bletchingdon is in England, where it applies. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Is Bletchingdon within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£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 you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Bletchingdon.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
