Air source heat pumps in Coryton, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. Homes with a combi boiler may not have a cylinder, so finding space for one is part of the survey. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you will need another way to do that. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Homes around Coryton typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What happens on the day
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 pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Work in Coryton is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit

- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Coryton
Coryton lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 64% of homes in the Coryton area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 72% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
The installer applies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, and we’re MCS certified. Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
There’s one grant per property, and you can’t get a grant to replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Since 2025, air-to-air heat pumps can also be permitted development in England, subject to the conditions. Cooling-only units are not included and need a check with the council.
Why deal with it now?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Booking before summer means the work in Coryton is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Questions from Coryton
Do you cover smaller places like Coryton?
Yes. Coryton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Coryton?
Coryton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Is a heat pump permitted development?
It depends on the property and where the unit goes. Flats have different limits, conservation areas have extra conditions, and an Article 4 direction can remove the rights and we look at it during the survey.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coryton
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
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.”
