Owner checks or an engineer?
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Air source heat pumps in Bloxham
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and checking emitters for a heat pump, on hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Whether a home near Bloxham has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common questions in Bloxham
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bloxham?
It depends on the property. The Bloxham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Bloxham. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Bloxham, usually Cherwell council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Bloxham?
Bloxham is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do you cover Bloxham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Bloxham.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Bloxham when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote

Homes in Bloxham and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 43% of homes in Bloxham and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Broughton Castle lies about 1.7 miles north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

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.”
