Heat pump installers in Cumnor
One call covers air source heat pumps in Cumnor, from the first look to sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases. We explain which makes sense for you. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air source heat pumps in Cumnor
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you’re dealing with an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
In a place like Cumnor, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Any error code or flashing light on the display

Common questions in Cumnor
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Cumnor?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Cumnor Conservation Area is close to the centre of Cumnor. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Vale of White Horse council, which is usually the planning authority for Cumnor.
Do you cover smaller places like Cumnor?
Yes. Cumnor is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Sometimes, and the amount is £2,500 rather than £7,500. It must replace fossil-fuel heating and meet the full heating demand of a home, installed by an MCS certified installer.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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.
Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Cumnor can be planned properly.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Cumnor
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Appleton Manor about 1.9 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Church of St Michael may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
