Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Newnham Murren
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Common call-outs are for planning and permitted development questions and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a place like Newnham Murren, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What electrical work the job needs
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, ring 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Visits to Newnham Murren are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. 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.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Newnham Murren
Do you cover smaller places like Newnham Murren?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Newnham Murren permitted development?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 131 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Newnham Murren. 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 South Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Newnham Murren.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
