What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The pipe route between the units
Putting the work off seldom saves money. 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, ring 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

- Your installation or service records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Northwick Park
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler doesn’t qualify. If the problem is checking whether planning permission is needed and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
For flats in Northwick Park, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. 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.

FAQs for Northwick Park
Is the heat pump grant available in Northwick Park?
Northwick Park 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 a heat pump in Northwick Park need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Northwick Park. 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 the local planning authority (for Northwick Park, usually Harrow council).
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
A typical installation takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The programme is planned to keep time without heating short and agreed before work begins.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system, and we tidy up before we leave. For a job in Northwick Park, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.

Advice
Air source heat pumps around Northwick Park
About 39% of homes in the Northwick Park area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 56% of households live in flats. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually 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.
Period properties close to Saint Cuthberts Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. For a home near Kenton station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
