Air source heat pumps in Hempton
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
In a place like Hempton, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to regular servicing
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Find out the grant position at the survey
If anything does not seem right after installation, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
Homes in Hempton and heat pumps
About 43% of homes in Hempton and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Broughton Castle, roughly 4.3 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Hempton?
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- A boiler that’s getting old
If your home is one of the older properties near Saint John the Evangelist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Hempton.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we will talk you through it.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Hempton so we arrive with what’s needed.
- 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 recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Common questions in Hempton
Is a heat pump in Hempton permitted development?
It depends on the property. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hempton. 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 Hempton, usually Cherwell council) first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hempton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hempton, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you cover Hempton?
Yes. We work in Hempton and across Oxfordshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
