Air source heat pumps in Peckham
Every installation starts with a 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. Typical jobs include no space for a hot water cylinder and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, across radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps.
Terraced houses in a London area like Peckham can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Peckham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The address and the type of property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
What else we do in Peckham
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. In a London area like Peckham, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Peckham
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Peckham: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Peckham?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Peckham, if they qualify. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Peckham?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Air-to-water installations cost £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Air-to-air systems are priced after a survey, with the VAT confirmed on your quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Air source heat pumps around Peckham
About 39% of homes in Peckham and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 70% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
Queen's House, roughly 2.6 miles east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If you live near Queens Road Peckham station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
