- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Copse Hill before visiting.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
Air source heat pumps in Copse Hill, done properly
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating.
Homes in Copse Hill are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A grant for a home that doesn’t meet the scheme rules
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give

Copse Hill: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Copse Hill?
Copse Hill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Copse Hill?
Normally, 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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 to eligible homes in England and Wales, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Homes in Copse Hill and heat pumps
VOA council tax data show about 33% of homes in Copse Hill and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Historic houses such as Southside House, about 0.2 miles south, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If you live near Raynes Park station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

How we price air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
