What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air source heat pumps in Fawler, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. We are often asked to deal with replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Older and listed homes in villages like Fawler need extra care, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What a heat pump looks like in Fawler
About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of the Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. Historic houses such as Blenheim Palace, about 4.4 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

FAQs for Fawler
Will a heat pump in Fawler need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Fawler is in the Fawler 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 West Oxfordshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Fawler first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Fawler?
Fawler 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Fawler and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
