About our air source heat pumps in Thame
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you’re dealing with finding a place for the outdoor unit and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can help.
In a town like Thame, most heat pump enquiries are for houses heated by a gas boiler. A survey looks at heat loss, radiators, the hot water cylinder and where the outdoor unit can go, then design the system.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Shops and offices in Thame can normally stay open while we work, or we come after hours.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Why deal with it now?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. Planning ahead in Thame avoids waiting during a hot spell.

Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Thame
Will a heat pump in Thame need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Thame Conservation Area is close to the centre of Thame. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with South Oxfordshire council, which is normally the planning authority for Thame.
Is the heat pump grant available in Thame?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Thame, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you work in Thame?
Yes. We work in Thame and across Oxfordshire, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey, so the quote covers any changes.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
