How we handle air source heat pumps in Eastfields
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside with electricity running the compressor and fans. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you are dealing with plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
In a flat in Eastfields, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Eastfields
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: 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.
Questions from Eastfields
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Eastfields?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Eastfields. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Merton council, which is usually the planning authority for Eastfields first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Eastfields?
Eastfields is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

What a heat pump looks like in Eastfields
About 43% of homes across Eastfields and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 43% of households in terraced houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. 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.
Period properties close to St. Mark's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

When to call us in Eastfields
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
If your home is listed, like Southside House about 3.4 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. In a London area like Eastfields, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
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.”
