About our air source heat pumps in Barnehurst
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about a boiler that’s getting old and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Homes in Barnehurst are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
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.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Some blocks in Barnehurst need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What a heat pump looks like in Barnehurst
VOA council tax data show about 40% of homes across Barnehurst and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If your home is near Barnehurst station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Common questions in Barnehurst
Is Barnehurst in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Barnehurst is part of that. Just call us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Barnehurst?
Typically, 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.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, 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.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
