How we handle air source heat pumps in Britwell Salome
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, we can help.
For a home around Britwell Salome that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.

Air source heat pumps in Britwell Salome: the local picture
About 36% of homes in Britwell Salome and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Adwell House lies about 4.3 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to Church of St Nicholas can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
After we have gone
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep to regular servicing
- Use the settings explained at handover
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
FAQs for Britwell Salome
Is Britwell Salome within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Britwell Salome without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Britwell Salome is a short walk from the Britwell Salome Conservation Area. 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 Britwell Salome, normally South Oxfordshire council) first.
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.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases, and we check before you commit.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
System by system
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Where the outdoor unit goes depends on airflow, access and the route into the house. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.

“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.”
