Air source heat pumps in Bumble's Green

Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. If the problem is questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.

What affects the quote in Bumble's Green
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Bumble's Green.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Bumble's Green
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Grant applications go through the MCS certified installer, so that part is handled for you. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

Common questions in Bumble's Green
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bumble's Green?
It depends on the property. The Nazeing and South Roydon Conservation Area is close to the centre of Bumble's Green. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Epping Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Bumble's Green first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bumble's Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bumble's Green, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What happens if it’s left?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. Planning ahead for a job in Bumble's Green means we can bring everything needed.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
