Heat pumps in Kingham: local notes
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. The middle of Kingham is part of the Kingham Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 43 within half a mile of the centre, such as Kingham House (grade II*). That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the planning team at West Oxfordshire council, which normally handles Kingham.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Andrew? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. For a home near Kingham station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

About our air source heat pumps in Kingham
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Kingham need extra care, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Work in Kingham is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
FAQs for Kingham
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Kingham?
Kingham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Kingham?
Yes. Kingham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
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 I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
