What we’re called out for in Perivale
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Homeowners near South Greenford station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.

How we handle air source heat pumps in Perivale
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes, and the quote sets it out. If you’re dealing with checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and checking emitters for a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Terraced houses in a London area like Perivale can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What a heat pump looks like in Perivale
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 77% of homes in Perivale and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Live in one of the older houses around St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

FAQs for Perivale
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Perivale?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 11 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Perivale. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Ealing council, typically the authority for Perivale.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Perivale?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Perivale, 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 don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
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 any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing a boiler in a hurry when it breaks leaves little time to consider a heat pump. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for while the old heating still works. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
