Air source heat pumps in Kensal Green, done properly
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, we can help.
In a flat in Kensal Green, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

System by system
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Air-to-water systems work at lower temperatures than boilers, so radiator sizes matter.
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Kensal Green in advance.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Kensal Green questions
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Kensal Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Kensal Green is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Kensal Green?
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.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Pricing air source heat pumps in Kensal Green
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How easy the units are to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property

Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
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.

Homes in Kensal Green and heat pumps
About 62% of homes across Kensal Green and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 64% 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. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Kensal Green station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Historic houses such as Kensington Palace, about 2.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
