About our air source heat pumps in Brookhampton
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. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can sort it out.
For a home around Brookhampton 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.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it, and the size of each room.
Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump and we tell you if it needs replacing.
Heat pumps in Brookhampton: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 40% of homes in Brookhampton and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Garsington Manor about 2.7 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St John the Baptist? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Brookhampton easier.

Brookhampton questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Brookhampton?
Brookhampton is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is a heat pump in Brookhampton permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 29 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Brookhampton. 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 don’t 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 the planning department at South Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Brookhampton.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.

What affects the quote in Brookhampton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The address and the type of property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Diary the next service
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
