Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in North End
Every installation starts with a 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, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about working out whether radiators need upsizing and moving away from fossil-fuel heating.
In a London area like North End, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

North End: your questions answered
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in North End?
Usually, 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in North End?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including North End, if they qualify. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
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.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
Air-to-water heats radiators or underfloor heating and hot water; air-to-air heats rooms through indoor units and can cool them. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source and the survey helps decide.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.

What else we do in North End
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep radiators clear
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Use the settings explained at handover
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed so the heat can get into the room.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself 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 North End in advance.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.

Homes in North End and heat pumps
About 68% of homes across North End and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 82% 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 normally has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Garden Lodge, roughly 0.4 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings. If you live near Kensington Olympia station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
