How we handle air source heat pumps in Hackney Wick
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about moving away from fossil-fuel heating and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
A terrace in Hackney Wick 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Before a visit in Hackney Wick, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Heat pumps in Hackney Wick: local notes
About 65% of homes in and around Hackney Wick have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 82% of households live in flats. Better insulated, newer homes are often a good match for a heat pump. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 1.3 miles west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If you live near Hackney Wick station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

What else we do in Hackney Wick
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Book a yearly service
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
Why act early in Hackney Wick
A heat pump sized without a proper heat loss survey can struggle in cold weather or run inefficiently. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Getting the work done in Hackney Wick before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Hackney Wick: your questions answered
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Hackney Wick?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hackney Wick?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Hackney Wick, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
