Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bayswater
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If you are dealing with questions about where the outdoor unit can go and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
In a flat in Bayswater, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep to regular servicing
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered and need a check with the council.
What a heat pump looks like in Bayswater
About 71% of homes across Bayswater and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 86% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. 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.
Homeowners near London Paddington station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Historic houses such as Kensington Palace, about 0.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Bayswater is about 1 mile north-east of Kensington, in Greater London. From the centre of Bayswater to the outskirts, our engineers cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. In Greater London alone we list 764 places, and Bayswater is one.
The closest recent job we can point to from Bayswater was on East Hill, Wandsworth (SW18), about 4 miles south: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area.
Work in W2, W8 and W11 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Dukes Lane, Salem Road and Aubrey Road, and we cover them all. If you are just outside Bayswater, we cover Westbourne (1 mile north), Westbourne Green (1 mile north), Little Venice (1 mile north-east), Paddington (1 mile north-east) and Paddington Green (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include London (4 miles east), St Pancras (3 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east) and Walthamstow (9 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Bayswater
In Bayswater, that means homes and buildings near Kensington Palace Green, Abdus Salam Library and Kensington School and the streets around them. Nearby too are Lansdowne College (within half a mile north-east) and The Churchill Arms (within half a mile south). The nearest railway station is London Paddington station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. A little further out are St Mary Abbot's Hospital (0.8 miles south) and Montfichet's Tower (3.9 miles east). For a walk, there’s Greville Place nature reserve and The Long Water.
Common questions in Bayswater
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bayswater?
It depends on the property. Central Bayswater sits inside the Kensington Palace 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 cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with Kensington and Chelsea council, which is normally the planning authority for Bayswater.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Bayswater?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Bayswater.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
