How we handle air source heat pumps in Hammersmith
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers hot water cylinders, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
In a London area like Hammersmith, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
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.

Common questions in Hammersmith
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hammersmith?
Hammersmith is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Hammersmith permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Hammersmith sits inside a conservation area. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Hammersmith, typically Hammersmith and Fulham council).
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it 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. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hammersmith
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. Planning ahead in Hammersmith means you choose the date, not the weather.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What affects the quote in Hammersmith
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Your installation or service records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
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.
Heat pumps in Hammersmith: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 68% of homes in Hammersmith and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 79% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Kensington Olympia station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Kelmscott House lies about 0.5 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
