Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Air source heat pumps in Church End
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If you’re dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
A terrace in Church End shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know who controls access to the building in Church End, as that saves time on the day.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Should you have questions after the install, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.

Heat pumps in Church End: local notes
About 46% of homes in Church End and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 72% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Fenton House lies about 3.2 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to Church of St Mary can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Church End is about 3 miles west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Anywhere in NW10, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London. The nearest of our city pages is London, around 7 miles from Church End.
Not far from Church End, a recent job of ours was on Richmond Hill, Richmond (TW10), about 7 miles south: installing a Mitsubishi Electric Zubadan multi-split system serving four bedrooms, the study and the living room: six indoor units in total.
Every address in NW10 and NW2 is covered, from busy streets to back roads. Streets in the area include Fry Road, Park Road and High Road, and we cover them all. We also cover Brent Park (1 mile north-west), Stonebridge (1 mile south-west), Neasden (1 mile north), Harlesden (1 mile south) and Willesden (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as London (7 miles south-east), City of Westminster (5 miles south-east), Marylebone (5 miles south-east) and Kensington (4 miles south-east).

The closest station to Church End is Harlesden station, roughly 0.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Church End: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Church End?
Church End is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Church End?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Church End. 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 Brent council, which is typically the planning authority for Church End.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
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 you get a fixed-price quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before any work starts.
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 will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
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.”
