When to call us in Radley
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units and switch to cooling in warm weather. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
These are the situations we see most often:
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
If you live near Radley station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Radley
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. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out where a cylinder could go, on hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Radley, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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.

After we’ve gone
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Book a yearly service
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.

What happens if it’s left?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water works with radiators and a cylinder, with a £7,500 grant for eligible homes, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms and has a £2,500 grant only in limited cases, and we explain which fits your home. Dealing with it now is usually simpler than a breakdown later.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Radley
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Radley?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Radley 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Will you come out to Radley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Radley and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself 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. We plan the trip to Radley around you.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- 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.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Radley
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St James (grade II*). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? The 2021 Census found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Period properties close to Church of St James can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
