Air source heat pumps in Lyneham, done properly
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are questions about where the outdoor unit can go and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Lyneham, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What owners can safely do
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Advice
Lyneham: your questions answered
Can I fit a heat pump in Lyneham without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lyneham. 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 do not 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 Lyneham, usually West Oxfordshire council).
Do you cover smaller places like Lyneham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Lyneham and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
