How we handle air source heat pumps in Battersea
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. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. Common call-outs are for questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, on air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Homes in Battersea are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
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.

Air source heat pumps around Battersea
About 48% of homes across Battersea and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 73% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. 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. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Clapham Junction station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Carlyle's House lies about 1.4 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Battersea is about 3 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover Battersea for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Greater London. Battersea is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for homes and businesses.
The closest recent job we can point to from Battersea was on East Hill, Wandsworth (SW18), about 1 mile south-west: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area.
From York Road, Este Road and Home Road to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. Battersea is on the A3207, so it’s easy for us to get to. Nearby, we also cover air source heat pumps in Clapham Junction (1 mile north-west), Sands End (1 mile north-west), Chelsea Harbour (1 mile north-west), Wandsworth (1 mile south-west) and Clapham (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles north-east), City of Westminster (4 miles north), Marylebone (4 miles north) and Kensington (3 miles north-west).
Near you in Battersea
Around Battersea, our work takes us to homes and businesses near The Falcon pub, Emanuel School and Imperial Park. Battersea has its own railway station: Clapham Junction station. Nearby you’ll also find Baynard's Castle (4.4 miles north-east) and Southside Wandsworth (1.3 miles south-west). The countryside around Battersea includes Henman Hill and Battersea Park Lake.
Rented and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
After we have gone
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Ask about the grant before you commit
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process since the grant goes through the installer.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Battersea: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Battersea need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Battersea is in the Clapham Junction Conservation Area. 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 Battersea, normally Wandsworth council).
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Battersea?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Battersea before visiting.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
