Air source heat pumps in Middleton Stoney
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Middleton Stoney usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

FAQs for Middleton Stoney
Will a heat pump in Middleton Stoney need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Middleton Stoney. 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 Cherwell council, which is usually the planning authority for Middleton Stoney.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Middleton Stoney?
Middleton Stoney is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. 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. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Middleton Stoney.
- 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.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Why deal with it now?
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. For a village like Middleton Stoney, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
