Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hadley Wood
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you’re dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
In a London area like Hadley Wood, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Homes in Hadley Wood and heat pumps
About 51% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is near Hadley Wood station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. With Wyllyotts Manor about 2.6 miles north, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Hadley Wood in advance.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Hadley Wood
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hadley Wood?
Hadley Wood is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Hadley Wood?
Typically, 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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
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 when we finish.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
An installation takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to book it.
What affects the quote in Hadley Wood
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
A customer’s words
“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.”
