How we handle air source heat pumps in Hanwell
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If you are dealing with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
For flats in Hanwell, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, 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.

What we are called out for in Hanwell
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
What we are most often called about:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
For a home near Hanwell station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
What your quote should include
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- What records you get at the end
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book a yearly service
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Seal draughts where you can
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. 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 a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a job in Hanwell, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Hanwell questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Hanwell?
Hanwell is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is a heat pump in Hanwell permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Hanwell sits inside the Hanwell Clock Tower 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 the planning department at Ealing council, normally the authority for Hanwell.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
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. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work in Hanwell?
Yes. Hanwell is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

Air source heat pumps in Hanwell: the local picture
About 53% of homes across Hanwell and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 52% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Pitzhanger Manor, roughly 1.3 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
