The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Grimsbury.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Grimsbury
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Grimsbury 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 help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are working out whether radiators need upsizing and ageing boilers that will need replacing.
For a house near Grimsbury, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
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.

Grimsbury: your questions answered
Will you come out to Grimsbury?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Grimsbury?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Grimsbury 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Homes in Grimsbury and heat pumps
Grimsbury’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Grimsbury Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Grimsbury and it takes in 3 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Grimsbury, including Elephant and Castle Hotel (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Cherwell council) before the heat pump design is finished. About 65 miles out from central London, Grimsbury is part of the South East area we work across.
Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, about 3.4 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Homeowners near Banbury station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
Grimsbury is about 1 mile east of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We cover Grimsbury for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Oxfordshire. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Grimsbury among them. London is in our area too, around 65 miles away.

Further out, we also cover Bicester (13 miles south-east), Bure Park (13 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (13 miles south-west) and Woodstock (15 miles south).

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:

- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
For air source heat pumps in Grimsbury, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. Let us know the type of property and what you need, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
