Air source heat pumps in Bodicote, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Older homes around Bodicote can be draughty or have solid walls, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, 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.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Bodicote
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.

Bodicote: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Bodicote without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Bodicote Conservation Area, close to central Bodicote. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Cherwell council, which is usually the planning authority for Bodicote.
Is Bodicote within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Bodicote and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. It doesn’t apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat 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, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Bodicote.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Radiator systems
- Homes heated by oil, LPG or gas

Do you need air source heat pumps in Bodicote?
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
With Broughton Castle about 2.9 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
What a heat pump looks like in Bodicote
About 43% of homes across Bodicote and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
