Homes in East Sheen and heat pumps
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 58% of homes across East Sheen and its surrounding area before 1919. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If you live near Mortlake station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Chiswick House lies about 1.3 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
East Sheen is about 3 miles west of Fulham, in Greater London. Whatever kind of property you have in East Sheen, we can help with air source heat pumps. You will hear back from us the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and East Sheen is one of them. For properties nearby, see our London page, about 8 miles away.
The closest recent job we can point to from East Sheen was on Richmond Hill, Richmond (TW10), about 2 miles west: installing a Mitsubishi Electric Zubadan multi-split system serving four bedrooms, the study and the living room: six indoor units in total.

Air source heat pumps in East Sheen
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 no space for a hot water cylinder and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
Terraced houses in a London area like East Sheen can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
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.

Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants towards heat pumps: £7,500 for air-to-water and ground source, and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. The installer applies.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know who controls access to the building in East Sheen, as that saves time on the day.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.

Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
East Sheen: your questions answered
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in East Sheen?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in East Sheen?
East Sheen is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is East Sheen in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes East Sheen.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
