Air source heat pumps in Cambridge Heath, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are comparing heat pump types and an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life.
For flats in Cambridge Heath, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Homes in Cambridge Heath and heat pumps
About 83% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 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 you live near Cambridge Heath station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Near you in Cambridge Heath
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Bishopsgate Institute Special Collections and Archives, Young and Talented School of Stage and Screen and Raine's Foundation School and the streets around them. You will also find The Victory pub (less than half a mile south) and Haggerston Park (0.5 miles west). There’s a railway station in Cambridge Heath itself: Cambridge Heath station.

What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cambridge Heath
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’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Cambridge Heath questions
Is a heat pump in Cambridge Heath permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of Cambridge Heath is in the Regent's Canal 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 Cambridge Heath, normally Tower Hamlets council) first.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Cambridge Heath?
Cambridge Heath is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

What else we do in Cambridge Heath
Common problems we fix in Cambridge Heath
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 1 mile north, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you get at the end
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in Cambridge Heath, we can send them the details.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
