- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Don’t 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 electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Air source heat pumps in Chadwell Heath, done properly
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Homes in Chadwell Heath are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Chadwell Heath.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What a heat pump looks like in Chadwell Heath
About 40% of homes in Chadwell Heath and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If you live near Chadwell Heath station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Older homes near St Chad's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Chadwell Heath
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Chadwell Heath?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Chadwell Heath. 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 Barking and Dagenham council, which is normally the planning authority for Chadwell Heath.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Chadwell Heath?
Chadwell Heath is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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 can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. Air-to-air does not heat hot water, and we explain which suits your home.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water and the quote is fixed.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Planning approval where permitted development does not apply
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

“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.”
