How we handle air source heat pumps in Minster Lovell
We install air source heat pumps in Minster Lovell and across Oxfordshire, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is working out where a cylinder could go and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
In a place like Minster Lovell, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Why deal with it now?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Book a yearly service
- Find out the grant position at the survey
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Minster Lovell: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Minster Lovell?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 29 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Minster Lovell. 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 Minster Lovell, usually West Oxfordshire council) first.
Is Minster Lovell within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
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 we apply for it as the installer.
