Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Preston Crowmarsh
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with checking whether planning permission is needed and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a place like Preston Crowmarsh, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Homes in Preston Crowmarsh and heat pumps
About 30% of homes in and around Preston Crowmarsh have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Brightwell Manor about 2.4 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near Church of St Helen may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Preston Crowmarsh
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
For air source heat pumps in Preston Crowmarsh, call us on 07833 053749. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few pictures if you can. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If anything does not seem right after installation, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Preston Crowmarsh
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Preston Crowmarsh?
Preston Crowmarsh is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Preston Crowmarsh without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Preston Crowmarsh sits inside the Preston Crowmarsh Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with South Oxfordshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Preston Crowmarsh.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
