Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Notting Dale
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, hot water cylinders and radiator systems, and common reasons people get in touch are checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and working out where a cylinder could go.
Terraced houses in a London area like Notting Dale can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Notting Dale
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How easy the units are to reach
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The address and the type of property
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
If you need air source heat pumps in Notting Dale, phone us on 07833 053749. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
An older cylinder may not suit a heat pump, and we explain whether yours can stay.
Radiators and underfloor heating
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators may need to be larger, and the survey checks each one.
When to call us in Notting Dale
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas where the home is eligible.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
With Sambourne House about 1.1 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
Notting Dale: your questions answered
Will a heat pump in Notting Dale need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Ladbroke Conservation Area takes in the middle of Notting Dale. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Kensington and Chelsea council, which is usually the planning authority for Notting Dale.
Is the heat pump grant available in Notting Dale?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Notting Dale is in England, where it applies. 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. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Air source heat pumps in Notting Dale: the local picture
VOA council tax data put about 58% of homes across Notting Dale and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 85% 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. 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.
If your home is near Shepherds Bush station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What else we do in Notting Dale
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. In a London area like Notting Dale, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
