Air source heat pumps in Clanfield, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Homes around Clanfield usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Air-to-water heat pumps

What a heat pump looks like in Clanfield
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 39 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Stephen (grade II*). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with West Oxfordshire council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. The 2021 Census found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of St Stephen can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If your home is listed, like Kelmscott Manor about 2.7 miles south-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Common questions in Clanfield
Will you come out to Clanfield?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Clanfield?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Clanfield is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
