Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Little Tew
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What electrical work the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light

Air source heat pumps in Little Tew, 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. We are often asked to deal with deciding on the outdoor unit position and no space for a hot water cylinder, on underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Homes around Little Tew usually have room outside for a heat pump, 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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Little Tew, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

FAQs for Little Tew
Is Little Tew within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Little Tew?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Little Tew Conservation Area takes in the middle of Little Tew. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at West Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Little Tew.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
A £2,500 grant is available in some cases. It will not apply if the system is an add-on next to a boiler, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. Businesses pay the standard rate, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter and we check what applies to you.
Air source heat pumps around Little Tew
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 41% of homes in Little Tew and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to Church of St John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
