East End questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in East End?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: East End is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can I fit a heat pump in East End without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of East End holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 East End, typically West Oxfordshire council) first.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in East End and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
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 warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
About our air source heat pumps in East End
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in East End and the rest of Oxfordshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and a boiler that’s getting old.
Older and listed homes in villages like East End need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Think of the paperwork as the 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, so keep it safe.

Heat pumps in East End: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 74% 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.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, 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 there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- The address and the type of property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Some jobs can be priced from photos, 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.
How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source, so that has to come from elsewhere.
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
What we’re called out for in East End
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- A boiler that is getting old
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Historic houses such as Blenheim Palace, about 2.7 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
