Air source heat pumps in Burlington Estate
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are ageing boilers that will need replacing and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump.
In a flat in Burlington Estate, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Homes in Burlington Estate and heat pumps
About 52% of homes across Burlington Estate and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 93% 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.
If your home is near Bond Street station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Historic houses such as Burlington House, about 0.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Burlington Estate is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover Burlington Estate for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Greater London. Burlington Estate is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for homes and businesses.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
The outdoor unit needs a position with good airflow, a solid base and a sensible pipe route. We also consider neighbours and noise, as MCS 020(a) includes a noise check.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Book a yearly service
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Should you have questions after the install, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Do not cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Questions from Burlington Estate
Is a heat pump in Burlington Estate permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Burlington Estate is in the Mayfair 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 Burlington Estate, usually Westminster council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Burlington Estate?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Burlington Estate, if they qualify. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is Burlington Estate in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Burlington Estate, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Some blocks in Burlington Estate need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about parking and loading
