About our air source heat pumps in Clare Market
We install air source heat pumps in Clare Market and across Greater London, and we are MCS certified. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If you are dealing with ageing boilers that will need replacing and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can help.
A terrace in Clare Market shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Some blocks in Clare Market need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are eligible for and the VAT explained.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call 07833 053749.

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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
What we’re called out for in Clare Market
A common reason is wanting to stop burning gas, oil or LPG. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air, which is why it fits that aim.
What we’re most often called about:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Planning and permitted development questions
Live in one of the older houses around Enon Chapel? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Clare Market: your questions answered
Is a heat pump in Clare Market permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Strand Conservation Area takes in the middle of Clare Market. 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 do not 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 Clare Market, normally Westminster council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Clare Market?
Clare Market 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. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you work in Clare Market?
Yes. Clare Market is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What air conditioning will not do
Air source heat pumps cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly.

Homes in Clare Market and heat pumps
About 48% of homes in Clare Market and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 96% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is listed, like Dr Johnson's House about 0.4 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

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.”
