About our air source heat pumps in Blackwall
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. Common call-outs are for choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and checking whether planning permission is needed, on air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems.
Homes in Blackwall 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 usually 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’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Air source heat pumps around Blackwall
About 80% of homes in and around Blackwall have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 93% of households live in flats. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Homeowners near Canary Wharf station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. With Queen's House about 1.7 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Blackwall questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Blackwall?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Blackwall holds about 39 listed buildings and structures. 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 can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Blackwall, typically Tower Hamlets council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Blackwall?
Blackwall is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Blackwall and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit 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. In a London area like Blackwall, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
