How we handle air source heat pumps in Parsons Green
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Common call-outs are for replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, across air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders.
Terraced houses in a London area like Parsons Green can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Parsons Green
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Parsons Green?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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 fit a heat pump in Parsons Green without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Parsons Green is in a conservation area. 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 the local planning authority (for Parsons Green, typically Hammersmith and Fulham council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?
It depends on your home and the system. In England and Wales, the scheme offers £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump only in limited cases. We check before you commit.
Should I choose air-to-water or air-to-air?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. It does not apply to businesses, and this is general information rather than tax advice.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If your building in Parsons Green has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
A £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is available for air-to-air only if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the full heating demand. It must be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small, and both cause problems.
Why act early in Parsons Green
If the emitters can’t give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. The survey picks this up before installation. Booking in spring means a home or office in Parsons Green is ready before the first hot week.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What a heat pump looks like in Parsons Green
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 60% of homes in and around Parsons Green before 1919, and about 71% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). 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 usually 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.
Older homes near St Dionis may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Homeowners near Imperial Wharf station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
