About our air source heat pumps in Hainault
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 the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is planning and permitted development questions and working out where a cylinder could go, we can sort it out.
Cottages and older homes near Hainault can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Other services in Hainault
Let and managed properties
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Why act early in Hainault
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Questions from Hainault
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hainault?
Hainault is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Can you do air source heat pumps in Hainault?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Hainault is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain the options after the survey.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Air source heat pumps in Hainault: the local picture
Hainault is about 11 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. About 41% of homes in and around Hainault date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period.
Live in one of the older houses around St Francis of Assisi? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. With Valentines Mansion about 2.4 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
