About our air source heat pumps in Bures Green
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
In a place like Bures Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bures Green
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bures Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Bures Green is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will a heat pump in Bures Green need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Bures Green sits inside the Bures St Mary 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 Babergh council, typically the authority for Bures Green.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We plan the trip to Bures Green around you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

When to call us in Bures Green
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
If your home is listed, like Gainsborough's House about 4.5 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Homes in Bures Green and heat pumps
VOA council tax data date about 41% of homes in Bures Green and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Period properties close to Church of St Mary the Virgin can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
