What the work involves, system by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Brimsdown
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are finding a place for the outdoor unit and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Homes in Brimsdown 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 an air-to-air system needs less space.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Brimsdown?
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity and that’s the appeal for many households.
Common reasons people call us are:
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Brimsdown
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Brimsdown?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Brimsdown sits inside a 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 Brimsdown, normally Enfield council) first.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Brimsdown?
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.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
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 is 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.

Air source heat pumps in Brimsdown: the local picture
About 37% of homes in and around Brimsdown were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 38% of households in terraced houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Period properties close to Ss Peter and Paul Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
