The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. In a London area like Bexley, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
About our air source heat pumps in Bexley
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
Homes in Bexley are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Common questions in Bexley
Is the heat pump grant available in Bexley?
Bexley is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Bexley?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What the work involves, system by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature and we look at it during the survey.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Permitted development conditions in England include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Heat pumps in Bexley: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 45% of homes in the Bexley area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 66% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Period properties close to Parish Church of St John the Evangelist can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If you live near Bexley station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bexley
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Planning ahead in Bexley means you choose the date, not the weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
