How OX started

Trained by the biggest. Run like a local.

David began as a gas engineer with British Gas, servicing, repairing and installing boilers, before going independent.

He started out in Bicester and moved to Brackley fifteen years ago, building a team around him as the work grew. Boilers led to central heating and smart controls, and then to air conditioning, which is now the bulk of what OX does. Most weeks are spent installing and servicing cooling in homes across three counties, with heating keeping the winters busy.

It is still a local firm, and a specialist one rather than a general-purpose trade. The same people quote the job, do the job, and come back if anything needs looking at afterwards. Nobody gets handed to a subcontractor between the survey and the install.

“We take pride in our work, and treat every job as if it were our own home or office. We care, and it shows.”

David, founder, OX Heating & Cooling

That is most of it. Air conditioning and heating both mean somebody in your house, drilling walls and running pipework, and then a system you have to live with for the next fifteen years. It is worth caring who does it.

Why Choose Us

  • F-Gas certified

    Refrigerant is a regulated greenhouse gas and handling it requires a qualification by law. It governs every part of the air conditioning work, which is now most of what we do.

  • Gas Safe registered

    Anyone working on gas appliances or pipework in the UK has to be on the register. Ask to see the card, from us or from anybody else you let near a boiler.

  • Guaranteed work

    Every job is guaranteed and carried out to industry standards, with certificates issued for the work that needs them.

  • 24-hour callout

    We answer the phone around the clock. Heating and cooling rarely fail at a convenient hour, and a house with no heat in January does not wait for Monday.
