The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Before a visit in Hanworth, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

About our air source heat pumps in Hanworth
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. We are often asked to deal with ageing boilers that will need replacing and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
For flats in Hanworth, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Common questions in Hanworth
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Hanworth?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Hanworth Road Conservation Area is close to the centre of Hanworth. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the planning department at Richmond-Upon-Thames council, normally the authority for Hanworth.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Hanworth?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
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. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before work begins.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
That depends on the scheme conditions, which we check for you. The installer applies for the grant, so we handle the application if you’re eligible.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Don’t 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 happens if it’s left?
From 1 April 2027, VAT on heat pumps in homes rises from 0% to 5%. It’s a date to bear in mind when planning alongside your own plans for the property. Planning ahead in Hanworth means you choose the date, not the weather.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.
