Common questions in Greenford
Will a heat pump in Greenford need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Greenford. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Greenford, typically Ealing council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Greenford?
Greenford is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
The work 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line to arrange one.
Air source heat pumps in Greenford
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. We are often asked to deal with radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, on underfloor heating, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
A terrace in Greenford shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Greenford.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

When to call us in Greenford
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Period properties close to Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church) can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
Air source heat pumps in Greenford: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 61% of homes in the Greenford area date from 1919 to 1939. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
For a home near Greenford station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
