Air source heat pumps in Faringdon, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out where a cylinder could go.
If your home near Faringdon has no mains gas, the grant can be bigger. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 on the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What we are called out for in Faringdon
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is listed, like Buscot Park about 3 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
What your quote should include
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. In a place like Faringdon, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749.
Advice
For landlords and property managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Faringdon
Is Faringdon 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Faringdon?
Faringdon is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can we book visits on a schedule?

How much time does a heat pump install need?
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. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
