Common questions in Woodway
Is Woodway within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Woodway in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Woodway is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Woodway and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Woodway
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 does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We are often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and finding a place for the outdoor unit, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
If your home in or near Woodway 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, on top of the £7,500.

What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application before you need the heat. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Warranty terms set out brand by brand
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East

Heat pumps in Woodway: local notes
About 49 miles out from central London, Woodway is part of the South East area we work across. About 55% of homes in the Woodway area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
If your home is listed, like Brightwell Manor about 5 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to Church of St Michael can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
