Air Source Heat Pumps in Lower Common
Our engineers work in Lower Common on air source heat pumps. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
About our air source heat pumps in Lower Common
We install air source heat pumps in Lower Common and across Hampshire, and we’re MCS certified. 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 help you work out which suits your home. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Lower Common, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common questions in Lower Common
Is Lower Common within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Lower Common?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Lower Common. 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 local planning authority (for Lower Common, typically Hart council).
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
In residential accommodation, 0% until 31 March 2027 and 5% afterwards. The relief does not cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Heat pumps in Lower Common: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 53% of homes in and around Lower Common were built in 2000 or later, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. 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 can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. Stratfield Saye House, roughly 4.3 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Common

What we do, step by step
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. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Lower Common.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
