How we handle air source heat pumps in Crossness
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, we can sort it out.
A terrace in Crossness shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What affects the quote in Crossness
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many units are involved
- The pipe route between the units
- What electrical work the job needs
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
For air source heat pumps in Crossness, phone 07833 053749 or send an email. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
FAQs for Crossness
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Crossness?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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 you do air source heat pumps in Crossness?
Yes, Crossness is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
For landlords and property managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

What a heat pump looks like in Crossness
The 2021 Census found about 39% of households in terraced houses. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Rainham Hall lies about 2.8 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Homeowners near Abbey Wood station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
