About our air source heat pumps in Forest Park
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Typical jobs include an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Older homes around Forest Park can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

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. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Forest Park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price

Related advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Common questions in Forest Park
Can you do air source heat pumps in Forest Park?
Yes, Forest Park is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Is Forest Park within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify as it has to meet the full heating demand.

How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. Businesses pay the standard rate, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.

If your home is one of the older properties near St Paul, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
