About our air source heat pumps in Furzedown
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home, we can help.
In a flat in Furzedown, the lease and the freeholder typically decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Furzedown questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Furzedown?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is a heat pump in Furzedown permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Streatham Park Conservation Area is close to the centre of Furzedown. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights do not reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Furzedown, normally Merton council).
How much time does a heat pump install need?
Expect it to take a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time and the timing is set out with your quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
It depends on your home and the system. The scheme gives £7,500 for eligible air-to-water or ground source systems, and £2,500 for air-to-air only under strict conditions. We check before you commit.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Yes, but only where it becomes the home’s main heating. The £2,500 applies when it replaces the fossil-fuel heating, covers the full heating demand, is fitted by an MCS certified installer and serves a home. Fitted alongside a boiler, it won’t qualify.

Heat pumps in Furzedown: local notes
About 65% of homes in and around Furzedown were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 46% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Kingswood House lies about 2.9 miles east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. For a home near Tooting station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
