Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Wheatley
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are comparing heat pump types and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Cottages and older homes near Wheatley can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Looking after your system
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep radiators clear
- Diary the next service
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Wheatley.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Clear access to the fuse board

Common questions in Wheatley
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Wheatley?
It depends on the property. The Wheatley Conservation Area is close to the centre of Wheatley. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with South Oxfordshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Wheatley.
Will you come out to Wheatley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

Other services in Wheatley
Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What a heat pump looks like in Wheatley
About 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. With Garsington Manor about 2.5 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
