How we handle air source heat pumps in Brentham Garden Suburb
We install air source heat pumps in Brentham Garden Suburb and across Greater London, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are ageing boilers that will need replacing and comparing heat pump types.
In a London area like Brentham Garden Suburb, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What a heat pump looks like in Brentham Garden Suburb
About 40% of homes in and around Brentham Garden Suburb were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 47% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder normally 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.
If your home is near Ealing Broadway station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. If your home is listed, like Pitzhanger Manor about 1.1 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Common questions in Brentham Garden Suburb
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Brentham Garden Suburb?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Is a heat pump in Brentham Garden Suburb permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Brentham Garden Suburb is in the Brentham Garden Estate Conservation Area. 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 Ealing council, which is normally the planning authority for Brentham Garden Suburb.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
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, and we set out the options after the survey.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself 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. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Brentham Garden Suburb.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book a yearly service
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Keep radiators clear
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
Let and managed properties
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What a customer said
“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.”
