Camberwell: your questions answered
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Camberwell?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Camberwell?
Camberwell is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Camberwell
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it does not apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
In a London area like Camberwell, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is

Air source heat pumps in Camberwell: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 82% of households live in flats. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Older homes near St Giles' Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Camberwell is about 2 miles south of London, in Greater London. Our engineers cover Camberwell for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Greater London. Count every place we list in Greater London and you reach 764, with Camberwell on the list.
The closest recent job we can point to from Camberwell was on Loampit Vale, Lewisham (SE13), about 3 miles east: installing four Daikin cassette units in the main working area and a wall-mounted unit in the private event space.
You will find streets such as New Church Road, Camberwell Station Road and Addington Square, and we cover them all. Postcode districts we cover here: SE5, SE15, SE22 and SE24.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Camberwell
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. A survey shows whether a heat pump suits the property and what would need to change along with whether any grant could apply.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Historic houses such as Mansion House, about 2.7 miles north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Camberwell.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Getting ready for the visit
