Air-to-air heat pumps in Stow-on-the-Wold: what to expect
Homes around Stow-on-the-Wold range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
A survey in Stow-on-the-Wold covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across Gloucestershire. Installers in Stow-on-the-Wold plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Commissioning, MCS certificate and the air-to-air grant claim in England and Wales where eligible
For terraced homes in Stow-on-the-Wold, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Stow-on-the-Wold quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
What to budget for air-to-air heat pumps in Stow-on-the-Wold
These are guide prices for Gloucestershire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| System | Installed guide price |
|---|---|
| Air-to-air heat pump, 1–2 rooms | £2,400–£5,050 |
| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £4,050–£8,100 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water. In England and Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £2,500 towards an air-to-air system in a home, deducted from your quote where eligible.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Stow-on-the-Wold: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Stow-on-the-Wold?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Gloucestershire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Stow-on-the-Wold?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Stow-on-the-Wold home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Chipping Norton as well as Stow-on-the-Wold?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Chipping Norton, which is about 8 miles east of Stow-on-the-Wold, and across Gloucestershire.
Can an air-to-air heat pump heat my water?
No. An air-to-air heat pump heats and cools the air in rooms but does not produce hot water. You need a separate source, such as an existing immersion cylinder, a hot water heat pump or an electric water heater. If you want one system for heating and hot water, an air-to-water heat pump with a cylinder is the alternative.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
