Air source heat pumps in Fairlop
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If you are dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and ageing boilers that will need replacing, we can sort it out.
Homes around Fairlop typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder, so the main questions are heat loss, radiators and the electrics.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What air conditioning won’t do
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer

Why act early in Fairlop
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. For a place like Fairlop, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The address and the type of property
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What else we do in Fairlop
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. 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. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Fairlop.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Fairlop
Is Fairlop within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Fairlop?
Fairlop is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Air source heat pumps around Fairlop
The Claybury Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Fairlop, within about a third of a mile. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Fairlop. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (normally Redbridge council). About 40% of homes in the Fairlop area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
If your home is listed, like Valentines Mansion about 2.1 miles south, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near St Francis of Assisi may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
