Air source heat pumps in Acton Vale
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Acton Vale and the rest of Greater London. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and a boiler that’s getting old.
In a London area like Acton Vale, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Acton Vale
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
What a heat pump looks like in Acton Vale
VOA council tax data put about 49% of homes in the Acton Vale area before 1919, and about 65% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Live in one of the older houses around St Saviour's Centre for the Deaf? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Acton Vale?
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Starting early leaves time for the survey, the design and any grant application instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Look out for these signs:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
If your home is near Acton Central station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
What your quote should include
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted

Pricing air source heat pumps in Acton Vale
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- How easy the units are to reach
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Common questions in Acton Vale
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Acton Vale?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is the heat pump grant available in Acton Vale?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Acton Vale is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
