Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Garsington
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes around Garsington typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Garsington can be planned properly.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What else we do in Garsington
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Garsington
Will a heat pump in Garsington need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Garsington Conservation Area is close to the centre of Garsington. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at South Oxfordshire council, typically the authority for Garsington.
Will you come out to Garsington?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home; as an add-on to a boiler it doesn’t qualify.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check 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. Keep every service record either way.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Garsington
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- How easy the units are to reach
- The equipment or parts the job needs
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 any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
