Bedfont air source heat pumps
Our engineers work in Bedfont on air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit 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 Bedfont.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about parking and loading

How we handle air source heat pumps in Bedfont
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
In a London area like Bedfont, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and normally a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bedfont
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Bedfont?
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.
Will a heat pump in Bedfont need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Bedfont Green Conservation Area takes in the middle of Bedfont. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Hounslow council, typically the authority for Bedfont.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
For homes, currently none: until 31 March 2027 the rate is 0% in residential accommodation, then 5%. The relief isn’t available to businesses, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Different systems, different jobs
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the job
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
