Air source heat pumps in New Marston, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. If the problem is checking emitters for a heat pump and comparing heat pump types, we can sort it out.
Cottages and older homes near New Marston can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What a heat pump looks like in New Marston
New Marston is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central New Marston, you reach the Headington Hill Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of New Marston and it takes in 4 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Kings Mill (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Oxford City council, which typically handles New Marston before the heat pump design is finished.
Holywell Manor lies about 0.7 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like New Marston.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

How we price air source heat pumps
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What electrical work the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
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’ll explain each part.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in New Marston
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Look out for any of the following:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- A boiler that is getting old
Live in one of the older houses around Saint Michael and All Angels? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Before you book anyone
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
FAQs for New Marston
Do you cover smaller places like New Marston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in New Marston?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: New Marston is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
