Air conditioning in Murcott: the local picture
On the National Heritage List, around 6 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Murcott; Pigeon Cottage (grade II) is one. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with Cherwell council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. About 44% of homes in the Murcott area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes typically have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.
Murcott is about 4 miles south of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Murcott to the outskirts, our engineers cover air conditioning, from a single room to a whole building. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, and Murcott is one of them. Guildford, roughly 48 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Murcott
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Every installation in Murcott begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
For a home in or near Murcott, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Signs you need air conditioning in Murcott
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An old system that needs replacing
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
About 2.7 miles east stands Boarstall Tower. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
What your quote should include
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Murcott.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
Your questions about air conditioning in Murcott
Will you come out to Murcott?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Murcott for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Murcott is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: 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.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
System by system
Electrical supply
We check the consumer unit on the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, including a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
