Air source heat pumps in Arnos Grove, done properly
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If the problem is ageing boilers that will need replacing and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
A terrace in Arnos Grove shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Arnos Grove
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The address and the type of property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from photos, 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.
Why act early in Arnos Grove
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Arnos Grove early.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.

Common questions in Arnos Grove
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Arnos Grove?
Arnos Grove is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Arnos Grove?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Arnos Grove is in a conservation area. 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 Enfield council, which is normally the planning authority for Arnos Grove.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Air source heat pumps around Arnos Grove
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 46% of homes across Arnos Grove and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 46% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Bruce Castle lies about 2.6 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Older homes near Syro-Malabar Catholic Church of London may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
