Air source heat pumps around Brunswick Park
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 60% of homes in the Brunswick Park area date from 1919 to 1939. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. 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 New Southgate station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Air source heat pumps in Brunswick Park, done properly
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. We are often asked to deal with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life, on underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and radiator systems.
In a London area like Brunswick Park, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Brunswick Park
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Brunswick Park?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Brunswick Park, if they qualify. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Brunswick Park?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. 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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
An installation takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call 07833 053749 to book it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent and we check what applies to you.
The process
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Brunswick Park before visiting.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
When to call us in Brunswick Park
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Comparing heat pump types
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
Bruce Castle lies about 3.6 miles south-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Comparing quotes
- What records you get at the end
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
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.”
