Heat pumps in Moreton: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 35% of homes across Moreton and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Adwell House about 3.3 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Moreton is about 1 mile south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Moreton, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps.

Air source heat pumps in Moreton, 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. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We’re often asked to deal with planning and permitted development questions and ageing boilers that will need replacing, across air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Moreton is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
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.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself 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. For a place like Moreton, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Moreton
Will you come out to Moreton?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Moreton?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Moreton Conservation Area is close to the centre of Moreton. 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 South Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Moreton.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Not on a home installation at the moment: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- What electrical work the job needs
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The address and the type of property
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
