- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Seal draughts where you can
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running, using the settings agreed at handover.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Park Royal
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. That follows HMRC Notice 708/6, and it doesn’t apply to businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, across underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a flat in Park Royal, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

More services for Park Royal
For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Air source heat pumps around Park Royal
About 57% of homes across Park Royal and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 66% of households live in flats. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Older homes near St Gabriel's Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Pitzhanger Manor, roughly 2 miles south-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Park Royal questions
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Park Royal?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Park Royal?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Park Royal holds about 0 listed buildings and structures. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Ealing council, typically the authority for Park Royal first.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Park Royal.
- 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.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
