Air source heat pumps in Tetsworth
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. Typical jobs include moving away from fossil-fuel heating and finding a place for the outdoor unit, across underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
If your home in or near Tetsworth is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Let and managed properties
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Tetsworth and across Oxfordshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Air source heat pumps around Tetsworth
About 12 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Tetsworth, The Swan Hotel (grade II*) among them. Where a home is affected, the outdoor unit position is settled with the local planning authority (typically South Oxfordshire council) before the heat pump design is finished. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 35% of homes in Tetsworth and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 63% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
With Adwell House about 1.4 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Tetsworth.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Tetsworth questions
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Tetsworth?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Tetsworth, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you cover smaller places like Tetsworth?
Yes. Tetsworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Common problems we fix in Tetsworth
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- No space for a hot water cylinder
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Giles, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
