FAQs for Oxshott
Is Oxshott within the area you cover?
Yes. Oxshott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is the heat pump grant available in Oxshott?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Oxshott, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Oxshott and across Surrey. Let us know who the records should go to.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
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.
About our air source heat pumps in Oxshott
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Typical jobs include questions about where the outdoor unit can go and no space for a hot water cylinder, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Whether a home near Oxshott has mains gas makes a difference to the grant. Until March 2027, homes on oil or LPG without mains gas can get an extra £1,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, for an air source or ground source heat pump.
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 so it’s to hand next time.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Oxshott.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.

What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Heat pumps in Oxshott: local notes
About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. Storehouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 5 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Oxshott’s centre. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with Elmbridge council, normally the planning authority here where necessary.
For a home near Oxshott station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. The Homewood, roughly 1.8 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small, and both cause problems.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Seal draughts where you can
- Keep to regular servicing
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes, and that is normal.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
