Air source heat pumps in Barnet: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 49% of households live in flats. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Older homes near St John's United Reformed Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Wyllyotts Manor, roughly 3.5 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

About our air source heat pumps in Barnet
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-water heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
For flats in Barnet, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Barnet
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Barnet?
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.
Is Barnet in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Barnet is part of that. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
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. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Book a yearly service
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Barnet.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
