Air source heat pumps in Hackney, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out whether radiators need upsizing, we can sort it out.
Homes in Hackney are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
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 each visit is recorded.

For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit 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 Hackney, as that saves time on the day.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.

- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
Hackney questions
Is the heat pump grant available in Hackney?
Hackney is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Hackney?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases, and we set out the options after the survey.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What we are called out for in Hackney
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Planning and permitted development questions
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 0.3 miles north-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis

How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What a heat pump looks like in Hackney
About 76% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If your home is near Homerton station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
