Air source heat pumps in Greengate, done properly
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers radiator systems, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and common reasons people get in touch are not knowing whether a grant applies and no space for a hot water cylinder.
Terraced houses in a London area like Greengate can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter, and we check the position for your property.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger so we check them against each room’s heat loss.

Air source heat pumps in Greengate: the local picture
About 56% of homes in and around Greengate were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 39% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Eastbury Manor House, roughly 3.1 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. Older homes near St Andrew's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

FAQs for Greengate
Can I fit a heat pump in Greengate without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 12 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Greengate. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Newham council, normally the authority for Greengate first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Greengate?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Greengate, if they qualify. 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.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site 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, and we tidy up before we leave. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Greengate.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How we price air source heat pumps
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the units are to reach
- What kind of system it is
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
