How we handle air source heat pumps in Tadmarton
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
For a home around Tadmarton that is off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- File the MCS certificate safely
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Tadmarton around you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Air source heat pumps in Tadmarton: the local picture
About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Nicholas? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, about 1.5 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Tadmarton is about 4 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Our engineers cover Tadmarton for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Oxfordshire. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. The nearest of our city pages is Guildford, around 66 miles from Tadmarton.

What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, 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.
Tadmarton questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Tadmarton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Tadmarton is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Tadmarton without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Tadmarton is in the Tadmarton Conservation Area. 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 Cherwell council, which is normally the planning authority for Tadmarton.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you work in Tadmarton?
Yes. We cover Tadmarton and the rest of Oxfordshire, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
