Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Broad Green
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside 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 air-to-air heat pumps, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and the jobs we see most are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and checking whether planning permission is needed.
In a flat in Broad Green, 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Broad Green.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Questions from Broad Green
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Broad Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 5 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Broad Green. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Broad Green, normally Croydon council).
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Broad Green?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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 does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Possibly. The scheme runs in England and Wales and pays £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 for an air-to-air system that meets stricter conditions. Homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas can get an extra £1,500 towards an air source or ground source heat pump until March 2027. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
What happens if it’s left?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Broad Green early.

What a heat pump looks like in Broad Green
About 38% of homes in and around Broad Green were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 50% of households live in flats. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Homeowners near West Croydon station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
