Common questions in Ealing
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Ealing?
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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Ealing?
Ealing is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We confirm the timing after the survey, so ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to arrange one.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
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. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. Air-to-air does not heat hot water and the survey helps decide.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Ealing
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. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are moving away from fossil-fuel heating and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home.
In a flat in Ealing, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
What a heat pump looks like in Ealing
About 56% of homes across Ealing and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 60% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is near Ealing Broadway station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
