Air source heat pumps in Kenton
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and checking emitters for a heat pump.
Homes in Kenton are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Kenton
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Kenton?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Kenton is in a conservation area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Harrow council, which is normally the planning authority for Kenton.
Is the heat pump grant available in Kenton?
Kenton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Kenton and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Kenton in advance.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about parking and loading

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Should you have questions after the install, call 07833 053749 and we will talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.
Heat pumps in Kenton: local notes
About 84% of homes in the Kenton area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is listed, like Headstone Manor about 2.2 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

What we’re called out for in Kenton
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- A boiler that is getting old
Older homes near Church of St Mary may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
