Air Source Heat Pumps in Cliffs End
Our engineers work in Cliffs End on air source heat pumps. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.

- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What kind of system it is
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Cliffs End
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If you’re dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can help.
Homes around Cliffs End usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Somewhere like Cliffs End, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Questions from Cliffs End
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Cliffs End?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Cliffs End is in England, where it applies. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover smaller places like Cliffs End?
Yes. Cliffs End is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
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 doesn’t heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Leave it or put it right?
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
