How we handle air source heat pumps in Acton Green
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are comparing heat pump types and checking whether planning permission is needed.
A terrace in Acton Green shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What we’re called out for in Acton Green
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that is the appeal for many households.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
Common questions in Acton Green
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Acton Green?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Acton Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Acton Green is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you protect the property while you work?
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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface so we check every radiator against the room’s heat loss.
Will I get records for the system?
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Find out the grant position at the survey
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a London area like Acton Green, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Air source heat pumps around Acton Green
About 51% of homes in and around Acton Green were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 69% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
