About our air source heat pumps in Peaks Hill

An air-to-water heat pump costs £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 underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about not knowing whether a grant applies and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.

A terrace in Peaks Hill shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.

Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What a heat pump looks like in Peaks Hill

VOA council tax data show about 44% of homes in the Peaks Hill area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. 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 Purley station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Peaks Hill is about 1 mile north-west of Purley, in Greater London. From the centre of Peaks Hill to the outskirts, we cover air source heat pumps, from a single room to a whole building. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots.

The closest recent job we can point to from Peaks Hill was on George Street, Croydon (CR0), about 2 miles north-east: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main working area and a wall-mounted unit in the private meeting room.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Peaks Hill?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions and we confirm it before you go ahead.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Not knowing whether a grant applies
  • Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
  • Ageing boilers that will need replacing

Addington Palace, roughly 4 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Comparing quotes

  • If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
  • Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

Choosing an air con installer

How we price air source heat pumps

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • The pipe route between the units
  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
  • How easy the units are to reach

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
  • A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
  • Any error code or flashing light on the display

Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Peaks Hill questions

Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Peaks Hill?

Peaks Hill is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.

Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Peaks Hill?

Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

What warranty do I get?

Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Which brands do you work with?

We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

How much time does a heat pump install need?

Expect it to take several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. How much of the heating changes decides most of the time, and we confirm the timing with your quote.

Is Peaks Hill in your area?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, Peaks Hill included.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
  • Find out the grant position at the survey
  • Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit

We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.

Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
