Air source heat pumps in Stoke Row, done properly
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. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
In a place like Stoke Row, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Stoke Row
Will you come out to Stoke Row?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Stoke Row?
Stoke Row is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
VAT on heat pumps
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, and 5% after that following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. It doesn’t apply to businesses.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Stoke Row, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- How easy the units are to reach
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
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.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
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, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Air source heat pumps in Stoke Row: the local picture
Stoke Row’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Stoke Row Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 14 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Stoke Row; Stag Farmhouse (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with South Oxfordshire council, normally the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 47% of homes in the Stoke Row area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Greys Court about 2.7 miles east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St John the Evangelist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
