After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off, and we will explain the settings for your home.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Bunkers Hill
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Bunkers Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is finding a place for the outdoor unit and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
Older and listed homes in villages like Bunkers Hill need extra care, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Questions from Bunkers Hill
Is Bunkers Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is Bunkers Hill in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Bunkers Hill is within the area we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Air source heat pumps around Bunkers Hill
There are 2 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Bunkers Hill. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with West Oxfordshire council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. About 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Live in one of the older houses around Church of Holy Cross? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Blenheim Palace lies about 2.3 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

More services for Bunkers Hill
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Bunkers Hill, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
