Why act early in Long Hanborough
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air source heat pumps in Long Hanborough, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are not knowing whether a grant applies and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Whether a home near Long Hanborough has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Long Hanborough.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Related advice
Long Hanborough: your questions answered
Is a heat pump in Long Hanborough permitted development?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Millwood End Conservation Area, close to central Long Hanborough. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at West Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Long Hanborough.
Do you cover smaller places like Long Hanborough?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before work begins.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.

These are the situations we see most often:
