About our air source heat pumps in Fulwell
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. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
In a flat in Fulwell, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
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, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, 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. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in Fulwell, we can send them the details.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Planning rules have specific conditions. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Fulwell before summer avoids the wait.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Book a yearly service
- Keep radiators clear
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off, using the settings agreed at handover.
Air source heat pumps in Fulwell: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 30% of homes across Fulwell and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Live in one of the older houses around St Michael's? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. Strawberry Hill House lies about 0.6 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Fulwell
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Fulwell?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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 Fulwell?
Fulwell is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
From one of our customers
“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.”
