Air source heat pumps in Belsize Park
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. Common call-outs are for questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a London area like Belsize Park, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Belsize Park
Is a heat pump in Belsize Park permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Belsize Park sits inside the Belsize Park Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Belsize Park, normally Camden council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Belsize Park?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Belsize Park, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you cover Belsize Park?
Yes. We work in Belsize Park and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. If your building in Belsize Park has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- 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.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Heat pumps in Belsize Park: local notes
About 46% of homes in and around Belsize Park were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 86% of households live in flats. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
