Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Primrose Hill
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. We are often asked to deal with questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and underfloor heating.
Homes in Primrose Hill are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Primrose Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The pipe route between the units
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The address and the type of property
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Before a visit in Primrose Hill, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Primrose Hill questions
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Primrose Hill?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Primrose Hill?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Primrose Hill Conservation Area is close to the centre of Primrose Hill. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Camden council, usually the authority for Primrose Hill.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are and any changes are in the quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Homes in Primrose Hill and heat pumps
About 41% of homes across Primrose Hill and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 86% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. 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 Church of St Mary the Virgin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If you live near Kentish Town West station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
The survey covers the building fabric and how air moves through it along with the room sizes.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed buildings also need separate consent, and we check the position for your property.
What a customer said
“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.”
