Air source heat pumps around Glympton
Census 2021 figures found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Blenheim Palace, roughly 3.5 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

About our air source heat pumps in Glympton
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, 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. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and planning and permitted development questions.
In a place like Glympton, some homes are listed, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, so we check consent first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What else we do in Glympton
What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
We look at walls, windows, floors, roofs and ventilation along with the room sizes.
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a village like Glympton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price

FAQs for Glympton
Will you come out to Glympton?
Yes. Glympton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is a heat pump in Glympton permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Glympton holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. 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 planning department at West Oxfordshire council, normally the authority for Glympton.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water suits homes with radiators and a cylinder; air-to-air suits rooms that need heating and cooling. The survey helps decide. Both are part of what we install.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
