What owners can safely do
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. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
About our air source heat pumps in Upper Arncott
We install air source heat pumps in Upper Arncott and across Oxfordshire, and we’re MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can help.
In a place like Upper Arncott, some homes are listed, and permitted development does not cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
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.

How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
FAQs for Upper Arncott
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upper Arncott?
Upper Arncott is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Upper Arncott in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Upper Arncott is part of that. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
The process
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. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Upper Arncott easier.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

When to call us in Upper Arncott
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Look out for these signs:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
