How we handle air source heat pumps in Connaught Village
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If you are dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
In a London area like Connaught Village, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

FAQs for Connaught Village
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Connaught Village?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Connaught Village?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Connaught Village, if they qualify. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. Hot water needs a separate source so you’ll need another way to heat it.
Radiators and underfloor heating
At lower water temperatures, radiators give out less heat so we check them against each room’s heat loss.
Homes in Connaught Village and heat pumps
VOA council tax data put about 44% of homes across Connaught Village and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 92% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder normally 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.
Historic houses such as Handel Hendrix House, about 0.9 miles east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St John the Evangelist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

What affects the quote in Connaught Village
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What kind of system it is
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The condition of any existing system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go

Let us know who controls access to the building in Connaught Village, as that saves time on the day.
