How we handle air source heat pumps in St Clement's
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Common call-outs are for choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out where a cylinder could go, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near St Clement's can lose heat faster, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Common problems we fix in St Clement's
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
Historic houses such as Holywell Manor, about 0.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Air source heat pumps around St Clement's
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 49% of homes across St Clement's and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 45% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. The centre of St Clement's lies within the St Clement's and Iffley Road Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of St Clement's and it takes in 4 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 230 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St John the Evangelist (grade I). Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with Oxford City council, usually the planning authority here before the heat pump design is finished.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in St Clement's
Is St Clement's within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in St Clement's?
St Clement's is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Diary the next service
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We plan the visit to St Clement's from the survey or your photos.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
