Do you need air source heat pumps in Goodmayes?
Homes with electric heating sometimes look at heat pumps as an alternative. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
If your home is near Goodmayes station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
Air source heat pumps in Goodmayes
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 check the rules for your property as part of the survey. We are often asked to deal with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and not knowing whether a grant applies, across hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and underfloor heating.
In a flat in Goodmayes, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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.

If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. 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. Let us know who controls access to the building in Goodmayes, as that saves time on the day.

- 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.

Before we arrive

Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 35% of homes in and around Goodmayes before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 40% of households in terraced houses. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Goodmayes?
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 there VAT on a heat pump?
Heat pumps in homes carry 0% VAT until 31 March 2027, with 5% from 1 April 2027. It doesn’t apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
