Bushey Mead air source heat pumps
Our engineers work in Bushey Mead on air source heat pumps. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Comparing heat pump types
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Bushey Mead
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. 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. We are often asked to deal with working out whether radiators need upsizing and planning and permitted development questions, on air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
A terrace in Bushey Mead shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Bushey Mead
About 39% of homes in Bushey Mead and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning. There are 10 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Bushey Mead. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (usually Merton council).
Southside House, roughly 0.7 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Common problems we fix in Bushey Mead
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
If your home is near Raynes Park station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
