How we handle air source heat pumps in Weald
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. We’re often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
If your home in or near Weald 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, on top of the £7,500.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Why it’s worth doing now in Weald
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air source heat pumps around Weald
The middle of Weald is part of the Bampton Conservation Area. Ham Court, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 16 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Weald’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with West Oxfordshire council, typically the planning authority here where necessary. About 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Weald
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Kelmscott Manor lies about 4.2 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Weald: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Weald?
Yes. Weald is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Weald?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Weald is in England, where it applies. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to book it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Weald and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
