Air source heat pumps in North Newington
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £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 as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We’re often asked to deal with checking emitters for a heat pump and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home in or near North Newington 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What else we do in North Newington
Questions from North Newington
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in North Newington?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The North Newington Conservation Area takes in the middle of North Newington. 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 North Newington, typically Cherwell council) first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in North Newington?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including North Newington, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short, and we explain it in advance.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
What a heat pump looks like in North Newington
VOA council tax data date about 72% of homes in and around North Newington to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of St Mary the Virgin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Broughton Castle lies about 1 mile south. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Advice
System by system
Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
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.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in North Newington
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
