Air source heat pumps in Weston Otmoor, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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. Common call-outs are for finding a place for the outdoor unit and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Weston Otmoor, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent and we check what applies to you.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating works well with heat pumps because it uses lower temperatures, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
When to call us in Weston Otmoor
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Weston Otmoor.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
Weston Otmoor: your questions answered
Can you do air source heat pumps in Weston Otmoor?
Yes, Weston Otmoor is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Weston Otmoor?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Weston Otmoor is in England, where it applies. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much does an air source 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. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development provided the conditions are met. These include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), not being used solely for cooling and not being within the curtilage of a listed building.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Weston Otmoor and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
