Common questions in Oxley Green
Is Oxley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Oxley Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Oxley Green is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book it.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
About our air source heat pumps in Oxley Green
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about working out where a cylinder could go and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Oxley Green, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What else we do in Oxley Green
What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Improving the building’s insulation
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.

What a heat pump looks like in Oxley Green
On the National Heritage List, around 6 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Oxley Green; Oxley Green Farmhouse (grade II) is one. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically Maldon council) before the heat pump design is finished. VOA council tax data date about 42% of homes in Oxley Green and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. With Layer Marney Tower about 2.3 miles north-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
