Air source heat pumps in Fewcott, done properly
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. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Older and listed homes in villages like Fewcott need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What else we do in Fewcott
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. 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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Fewcott easier.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board

Common questions in Fewcott
Is Fewcott within the area you cover?
Yes. Fewcott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Fewcott?
It depends on the property. Central Fewcott is a short walk from the Ardley 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 planning department at Cherwell council, typically the authority for Fewcott first.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
What a heat pump looks like in Fewcott
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 34% of homes in the Fewcott area were built in 2000 or later, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Book a yearly service

If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated, as the installer applies for it.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
