About our air source heat pumps in Camden Town
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Terraced houses in a London area like Camden Town can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Air source heat pumps around Camden Town
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 40% of homes in and around Camden Town before 1919, and about 87% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
With Winfield House about 1.2 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Homeowners near Camden Road station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

The process
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Camden Town.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it and the installer applies.
FAQs for Camden Town
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Camden Town?
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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Camden Town?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Camden Town is in England, where it applies. 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. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
