Pricing air source heat pumps in Arkley
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How many units are involved
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Arkley
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas.
A terrace in Arkley shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Why act early in Arkley
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Getting the work done in Arkley before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Arkley: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Arkley need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Arkley holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Arkley, normally Barnet council).
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Arkley?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
Do you cover Arkley?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Arkley.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Arkley.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a quote
For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Arkley: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 33% of homes in the Arkley area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Wyllyotts Manor, roughly 3.7 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Arkley?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
Older homes near St Peter's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
