Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Hounslow
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. The work covers hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
Homes in Hounslow are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

FAQs for Hounslow
Is Hounslow in your area for air source heat pumps?
Yes, Hounslow is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Hounslow?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
Not on a home installation at the moment: HMRC zero-rates heat pumps installed in residential accommodation until 31 March 2027, and 5% applies after that. Businesses and hotels pay the standard rate, and with air-to-air we confirm the VAT on the quote. This is general information, not tax advice.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Air source heat pumps around Hounslow
London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Hounslow
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Working out where a cylinder could go
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
Strawberry Hill House, roughly 4 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

Why act early in Hounslow
Permitted development rules can change, and conditions vary between properties. Checking the position for your home at the survey stage avoids surprises later covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Hounslow early.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. 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, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hounslow.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
