About our air source heat pumps in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
An air-to-water heat pump costs £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. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and hot water cylinders.
A terrace in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Heat pumps in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 65% of homes in and around Bushwood Area of Leytonstone before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 58% of households live in flats. 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. 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 Leytonstone High Road station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. 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.
Can I fit a heat pump in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Bushwood Area of Leytonstone is a short walk from the Browning Road Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with Waltham Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Bushwood Area of Leytonstone.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
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 the timing is set out with your quote.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
