Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Botany Bay
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. 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; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. Typical jobs include deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and working out whether radiators need upsizing, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a flat in Botany Bay, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Air source heat pumps around Botany Bay
About 57% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is listed, like Forty Hall about 2.5 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.

How we price air source heat pumps
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What state the existing equipment is in
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The address and the type of property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records

Botany Bay: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Botany Bay?
Botany Bay is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 are MCS certified.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Botany Bay?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
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 explain why.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What air conditioning will not do
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
