Air source heat pumps in Chiswick
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you’re dealing with comparing heat pump types and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Homes in Chiswick 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 normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Questions from Chiswick
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Chiswick?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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 planning permission needed for a heat pump in Chiswick?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Chiswick sits inside the Glebe Estate Conservation Area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Chiswick, typically Hounslow council).
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If your building in Chiswick has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
What affects the quote in Chiswick
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
To get a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.
Rented and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Heat pumps in Chiswick: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 53% of homes in and around Chiswick before 1919, and about 59% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Live in one of the older houses around St. Nicholas Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Hogarth's House about 0.2 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
