Do you need air source heat pumps in Crook Log?
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units and switch to cooling in warm weather. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
Look out for these signs:
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
If your home is one of the older properties near Trinity Baptist Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Crook Log
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
Homes in Crook Log 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 normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

FAQs for Crook Log
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Crook Log?
Normally, 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 Crook Log?
Crook Log is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
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.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Before a visit in Crook Log, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- 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
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Crook Log
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your installation or service records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Heat pumps in Crook Log: local notes
VOA council tax data show about 49% of homes across Crook Log and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and the 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
With Red House about 0.3 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
