Air source heat pumps in Denchworth, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can help.
In a place like Denchworth, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Denchworth
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Denchworth?
Denchworth is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Denchworth permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Denchworth is in the Denchworth 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 Denchworth, usually Vale of White Horse council) first.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Denchworth can be planned properly.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Managing agents and facilities teams in Denchworth
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Denchworth
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Homes in Denchworth and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 38% of homes in and around Denchworth were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St James may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Longworth House lies about 4.7 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

From one of our customers
