Air source heat pumps in Wootton, done properly
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Homes around Wootton normally have room outside for a heat pump, 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 set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The pipe route between the units
- The condition of any existing system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone 07833 053749 or send an email.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Find out the grant position at the survey
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
FAQs for Wootton
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wootton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Wootton, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Wootton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
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. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Wootton can be planned properly.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a price
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Air source heat pumps in Wootton: the local picture
The 2021 Census found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Wootton, including Manor Farmhouse (grade II). For a heat pump, permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Vale of White Horse council, which usually handles Wootton where necessary.
With Appleton Manor about 2 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
