Air source heat pumps in Wytham, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are a boiler that’s getting old and no space for a hot water cylinder.
In a place like Wytham, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What we’re called out for in Wytham
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
With Holywell Manor about 3.1 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Radiators and underfloor heating
If radiators need upsizing, the quote lists them, so you know the full scope.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrid systems are not eligible.
Wytham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Wytham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit a heat pump in Wytham without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Wytham is a short walk from the Wytham 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 the planning department at Oxford City council, normally the authority for Wytham.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
It can, as long as the system takes over the heating completely. An air-to-air heat pump can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, meets the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and is in a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it won’t qualify.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Heat pumps in Wytham: local notes
About 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Older homes near Church of All Saints may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
