Homes in Hackney Central and heat pumps
About 82% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. Older homes near Church of St Michael and All Angels may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

Air source heat pumps in Hackney Central
We install air source heat pumps in Hackney Central and across Greater London, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is deciding on the outdoor unit position and not knowing whether a grant applies, we can sort it out.
For flats in Hackney Central, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Hackney Central.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Hackney Central: your questions answered
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Hackney Central?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. 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 the heat pump grant available in Hackney Central?
Hackney Central is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
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. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Hackney Central and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

System by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source, and is MCS certified when we install it.
A customer’s words
“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.”
