Leave it or put it right?
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. The survey picks this up before installation. Booking before summer means the work in Fyfield is done before the hot weather.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Fyfield
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Fyfield, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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 else we do in Fyfield
What the work involves, system by system
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. Everything else is sized from it.
Heat pumps in Fyfield: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 37% of homes across Fyfield and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
If your home is listed, like Appleton Manor about 2.2 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Nicholas, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Fyfield is about 5 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Fyfield to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from small jobs to large ones. Fyfield is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for homes and businesses. Guildford is in our area too, around 46 miles away.

Questions from Fyfield
Can I fit a heat pump in Fyfield without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Fyfield is in the Fyfield and Netherton Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Fyfield, usually Vale of White Horse council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fyfield?
Fyfield 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.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Work in Fyfield is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Fyfield
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the units are to reach
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
