How we handle air source heat pumps in Alperton
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you are dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can sort it out.
In a London area like Alperton, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why act early in Alperton
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Planning ahead in Alperton means you choose the date, not the weather.
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 play a part.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Alperton?
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Pitzhanger Manor, roughly 2.1 miles south, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Common questions in Alperton
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Alperton?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Alperton is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Alperton?
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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Does servicing affect my 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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a job in Alperton, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- 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.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Advice
Air source heat pumps in Alperton: the local picture
About 57% of homes in the Alperton area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Wembley Central station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

How we price air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The condition of any existing system
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
