Crowmarsh Gifford: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Crowmarsh Gifford?
Crowmarsh Gifford is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Crowmarsh Gifford?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Crowmarsh Gifford holds about 18 listed buildings and structures. 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 don’t 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 the local planning authority (for Crowmarsh Gifford, typically South Oxfordshire council).
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work in Crowmarsh Gifford?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Crowmarsh Gifford included.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Crowmarsh Gifford
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Crowmarsh Gifford, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Crowmarsh Gifford
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
Historic houses such as Brightwell Manor, about 2.7 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What affects the quote in Crowmarsh Gifford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The condition of any existing system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The address and the type of property
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work 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. For a village like Crowmarsh Gifford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board

What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
