Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hampton Wick
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We check the rules for your property as part of the survey. The work covers underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are checking emitters for a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position.
Terraced houses in a London area like Hampton Wick can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Hampton Wick
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What kind of system it is
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The pipe route between the units
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records

Air source heat pumps in Hampton Wick: the local picture
About 37% of homes in Hampton Wick and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 54% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. 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. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
If you live near Hampton Wick station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted. Live in one of the older houses around All Saints Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hampton Wick
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms won’t get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking in spring means a home or office in Hampton Wick is ready before the first hot week.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.

Take a look at what air conditioning costs and how to check a contractor.
What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. 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.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Hampton Wick before visiting.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Hampton Wick: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hampton Wick?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Hampton Wick is a short walk from the Hampton Wick Conservation Area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the local planning authority (for Hampton Wick, typically Kingston-Upon-Thames council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Hampton Wick?
Hampton Wick 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
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, and we set out the options after the survey.
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 when we finish.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
From one of our customers
“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.”
