Air source heat pumps in Muswell Hill
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and underfloor heating, and the jobs we see most are deciding on the outdoor unit position and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
In a London area like Muswell Hill, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Muswell Hill: your questions answered
Is the heat pump grant available in Muswell Hill?
Muswell Hill is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Muswell Hill?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Muswell Hill Conservation Area takes in the middle of Muswell Hill. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Haringey council, which is normally the planning authority for Muswell Hill.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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 will agree what happens next.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work in Muswell Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Muswell Hill included.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it 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. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before any work starts.
Places near Muswell Hill
What else we do in Muswell Hill
Air source heat pumps around Muswell Hill
About 62% of homes in Muswell Hill and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 52% 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. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler.
