Air source heat pumps in Wigginton, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you are dealing with checking emitters for a heat pump and planning and permitted development questions, we can sort it out.
In a place like Wigginton, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Heat pumps in Wigginton: local notes
About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Older homes near Church of Saint Giles may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Broughton Castle about 3.5 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Common questions in Wigginton
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Wigginton?
It depends on the property. Central Wigginton sits inside the Wigginton Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Cherwell council, usually the authority for Wigginton first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
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 the survey helps decide.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Wigginton
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- The pipe route between the units
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call 07833 053749.

How to get a quote
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 on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Book a yearly service
- Keep radiators clear
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 it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
