About our air source heat pumps in Kingston Blount
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Kingston Blount, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Kingston Blount?
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Customers typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Comparing heat pump types
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
Common questions in Kingston Blount
Is a heat pump in Kingston Blount permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Kingston Blount Conservation Area, close to central Kingston Blount. 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 South Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Kingston Blount first.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingston Blount?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms. The survey helps decide. We install both types.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
The price for air-to-water is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
Heat loss surveys
Getting the survey right avoids undersized or oversized systems, and both cause problems.
The process
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work 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. We plan the trip to Kingston Blount around you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
