Air source heat pumps around Bunce Common
Hook Farm House, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Bunce Common’s centre. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Mole Valley council, normally the planning authority here. About 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Older homes near Church of St Bartholomew may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bunce Common
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with a boiler that’s getting old and working out where a cylinder could go, on hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
For a home around Bunce Common that’s off mains gas and heated by oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What else we do in Bunce Common
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. For a village like Bunce Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Bunce Common: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bunce Common?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bunce Common, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Bunce Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
What does an air-to-water 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 you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
Expect it to take a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What affects the quote in Bunce Common
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The brand, model and parts involved
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The address and the type of property
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
