What a heat pump looks like in Hampton Poyle
Hampton Poyle’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Hampton Poyle Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Hampton Poyle and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hampton Poyle, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Blenheim Palace about 3.9 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Air source heat pumps in Hampton Poyle
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; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding on the outdoor unit position and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
If your home in or near Hampton Poyle is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Questions from Hampton Poyle
Is Hampton Poyle within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hampton Poyle?
Hampton Poyle is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken 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.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
Why deal with it now?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. For a village like Hampton Poyle, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. For a village like Hampton Poyle, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
