Heat pump installation in Great Coxwell, Oxfordshire
For air source heat pumps in Great Coxwell, one call is all it takes: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Find out the grant position at the survey
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Air source heat pumps in Great Coxwell, done properly
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. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
If your home in or near Great Coxwell 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, on top of the £7,500.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.

Heat pumps in Great Coxwell: local notes
Central Great Coxwell is inside the Great Coxwell Conservation Area. There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Great Coxwell. About 21 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Great Coxwell, Church of St Giles (grade II*) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Vale of White Horse council, typically the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished. About 32% of homes in Great Coxwell and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump.
Buscot Park, roughly 2.6 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Giles? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

FAQs for Great Coxwell
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Great Coxwell?
Great Coxwell is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Will you come out to Great Coxwell?
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.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
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. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Somewhere like Great Coxwell, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

“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.”
