Air source heat pumps in Kings Cross, done properly
We install air source heat pumps in Kings Cross and across Greater London, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. We are often asked to deal with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and deciding on the outdoor unit position, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Kings Cross 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Looking after your system
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File the MCS certificate safely
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. File it with the warranty documents, as you may need it later.
Don’t cover radiators with furniture or heavy curtains so the heat can get into the room.

What a heat pump looks like in Kings Cross
About 39% of homes across Kings Cross and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 93% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
With Dr Johnson's House about 1.2 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

FAQs for Kings Cross
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Kings Cross?
Typically, 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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Kings Cross?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Kings Cross, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How does the warranty work?
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 your brand on the quote.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Signs you need air source heat pumps in Kings Cross
