About our air source heat pumps in Fritwell
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Common call-outs are for wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
If your home in or near Fritwell 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.
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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Let and managed properties
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Before you call an engineer
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.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749.
Questions from Fritwell
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Fritwell?
Fritwell is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Fritwell within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Fritwell.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Air source heat pumps around Fritwell
About 34% of homes in Fritwell and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. The centre of Fritwell lies within the Fritwell Conservation Area. About 17 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Fritwell, Church of St Olave (grade II*) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the planning team at Cherwell council, which normally handles Fritwell before the heat pump design is finished.
Period properties close to Church of St Olave 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.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:

- Your installation or service records
