Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Harringay
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Harringay and the rest of Greater London. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
In a flat in Harringay, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Why it’s worth doing now in Harringay
Radiators that are too small for a heat pump’s lower flow temperature leave rooms cool. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Booking in spring means a home or office in Harringay is ready before the first hot week.

Harringay: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Harringay need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Harringay. 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 do not 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 local planning authority (for Harringay, usually Haringey council).
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Harringay?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Does the grant cover air-to-air heat pumps?
The scheme offers £2,500 for air-to-air, but the conditions are strict. Adding air-to-air alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify, and it must cover the whole heating demand.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Homes pay 0% VAT on a heat pump installation until 31 March 2027, then 5%. The relief does not cover businesses. Please treat this as general information, not tax advice.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Harringay
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. Pipework, radiators and space for a cylinder are easier to plan while work is going on.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Comparing heat pump types
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Period properties close to St Paul's Harringay can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Homes in Harringay and heat pumps
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 75% of homes across Harringay and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 63% of households live in flats. 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. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Homeowners near Harringay Green Lanes station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
