How we handle air source heat pumps in Aldersbrook
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. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
For flats in Aldersbrook, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, compliance with MCS 020(a), and use for more than cooling alone. Listed building curtilages are excluded.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Questions from Aldersbrook
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Aldersbrook?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Aldersbrook?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Aldersbrook, if they qualify. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
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 we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Some blocks in Aldersbrook need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- 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.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Air source heat pumps in Aldersbrook: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 55% of homes in and around Aldersbrook before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 35% of households in terraced houses. 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. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Historic houses such as Valentines Mansion, about 1.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Leave it or put it right?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Aldersbrook early.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Aldersbrook
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
If your home is near Wanstead Park station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
