Signs you need air source heat pumps in Coldharbour
Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. A heat pump runs on electricity and takes heat from the outside air and that’s the appeal for many households.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Planning and permitted development questions
With Queen's House about 1.5 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Coldharbour
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
In a London area like Coldharbour, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Advice
How we price air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The address and the type of property
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Any error code or flashing light on the display

Homes in Coldharbour and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 82% of homes in the Coldharbour area were built in 2000 or later, and about 95% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes normally lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
For a home near Canary Wharf station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

Different systems, different jobs
Radiators and underfloor heating
Underfloor heating suits a heat pump’s lower flow temperature, and we can connect to it where it’s already in.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats and blocks of flats have different limits, and Article 4 directions can remove rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Questions from Coldharbour
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Coldharbour?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Is the heat pump grant available in Coldharbour?
Coldharbour is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
