Air source heat pumps in Little Coxwell, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Little Coxwell and the rest of Oxfordshire. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. Common call-outs are for ageing boilers that will need replacing and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Older and listed homes in villages like Little Coxwell need extra care, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Little Coxwell.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

What owners can safely do
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Little Coxwell questions
Do you cover smaller places like Little Coxwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit a heat pump in Little Coxwell without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Little Coxwell is in the Little Coxwell 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 Little Coxwell, typically Vale of White Horse council).
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Rented and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Little Coxwell
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
Historic houses such as Buscot Park, about 3.2 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
