About our air source heat pumps in Draycott
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Draycott and the rest of Oxfordshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. We are often asked to deal with a boiler that’s getting old and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
If your home in or near Draycott is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Common questions in Draycott
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Draycott?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Draycott, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will you come out to Draycott?
Yes. Draycott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone 07833 053749 to book it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Air source heat pumps in Draycott: the local picture
Census 2021 figures found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Draycott. About 8 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Draycott, Manor Farmhouse (grade II) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Buckinghamshire council, usually the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Helen? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Historic houses such as Garsington Manor, about 4.8 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Somewhere like Draycott, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.

Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
If you’re not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
