About our air source heat pumps in Tubney
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 the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and the jobs we see most are planning and permitted development questions and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
If your home in or near Tubney is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749.
FAQs for Tubney
Is the heat pump grant available in Tubney?
Tubney is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Tubney?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air doesn’t heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Planning ahead for a job in Tubney means we can bring everything needed.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

What a heat pump looks like in Tubney
About 37% of homes in the Tubney area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Tubney House (grade II). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (usually Vale of White Horse council) before the heat pump design is finished.
Older homes near Church of St Lawrence may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Historic houses such as Appleton Manor, about 1.6 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
