On the National Heritage List, around 19 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Ascott d'Oyley; Heritage House (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with West Oxfordshire council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Ascott d'Oyley
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
Homes around Ascott d'Oyley typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Ascott d'Oyley
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Somewhere like Ascott d'Oyley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call us on 07833 053749.

Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ascott d'Oyley
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.

Common questions in Ascott d'Oyley
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Ascott d'Oyley?
Ascott d'Oyley is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Ascott d'Oyley within the area you cover?
Yes. Ascott d'Oyley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How much does an air source 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, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Before you call an engineer
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
