Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in South Newington
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like South Newington need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Air source heat pumps around South Newington
About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to St Peter ad Vincula can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Broughton Castle, roughly 3.1 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Visits to South Newington are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so the work is clear.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:

Your questions about air source heat pumps in South Newington
Can I fit a heat pump in South Newington without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the South Newington Conservation Area, close to central South Newington. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for South Newington, typically Cherwell council).
Do you cover smaller places like South Newington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
