The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hanger Hill.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a price
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
How we handle air source heat pumps in Hanger Hill
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. Common call-outs are for a boiler that’s getting old and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across air-to-water heat pumps, underfloor heating and radiator systems.
A terrace in Hanger Hill 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.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Leave it or put it right?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Hanger Hill early.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Hanger Hill
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Hanger Hill?
Hanger Hill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hanger Hill?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Hanger Hill sits inside the Hanger Hill Garden Estate Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with Ealing council, which is normally the planning authority for Hanger Hill.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder, and you get a fixed-price quote.
What we’re called out for in Hanger Hill

- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
Homes in Hanger Hill and heat pumps
About 49% of homes in Hanger Hill and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 60% 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. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Homeowners near Acton Main Line station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
