Air-to-air heat pumps in Brackley
We size every heat pump in Brackley for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. In the East Midlands, one system that cools in summer and heats efficiently in winter makes good use of the investment.
Ask at your Brackley survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Brackley is about 19 miles from Northampton and falls within our Northamptonshire coverage. We cover NN13 and the streets around them.
Prices in Brackley
Our East Midlands guide price for air-to-air heat pumps is £2,845–£10,995 for 2–5 rooms, VAT included. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. What moves a quote in Brackley up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. For reference, the Small home option in Brackley (three or four rooms heated and cooled) usually comes to about £4,245–£7,145.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
Brackley is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
A survey in Brackley usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Brackley at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
