Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Agar Town
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. Typical jobs include checking emitters for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Homes in Agar Town are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and typically a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
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. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common questions in Agar Town
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Agar Town?
Agar Town is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Agar Town?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Regent's Canal Conservation Area, close to central Agar Town. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Agar Town, normally Camden council).
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
What a heat pump looks like in Agar Town
VOA council tax data put about 36% of homes across Agar Town and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 89% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If you live near Camden Road station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

What else we do in Agar Town
Do you need air source heat pumps in Agar Town?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Winfield House, roughly 1.5 miles west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Agar Town has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
