Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Homerton
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 look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for moving away from fossil-fuel heating and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, across homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
Terraced houses in a London area like Homerton 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give

Air source heat pumps in Homerton: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 37% of homes in and around Homerton before 1919, and about 78% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). 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 usually 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 Homerton station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Sutton House lies about 0.3 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

What else we do in Homerton
Homerton questions
Can I fit a heat pump in Homerton without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 71 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Homerton. 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 Homerton, typically Hackney council) first.
Is the heat pump grant available in Homerton?
Homerton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Homerton in your area?
Yes. Homerton is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
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. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Homerton.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

What the work involves, system by system
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Eligibility depends on the property and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered, so check with the council.
How we price air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How easy the units are to reach
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
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
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The address and the type of property
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.
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.”
