How we price air source heat pumps
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What kind of system it is
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The address and the type of property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Air source heat pumps in Putney
Many air source heat pumps can be installed as permitted development in England, without a planning application. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. If the problem is working out whether radiators need upsizing and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can help.
Terraced houses in a London area like Putney 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.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

If you live near Putney station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

FAQs for Putney
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Putney?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Putney?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The West Putney Conservation Area takes in the middle of Putney. 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 do not 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 Putney, normally Wandsworth council).
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form to book it.
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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Different systems, different jobs
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. The survey looks at where it can go, especially if you have a combi boiler.
Heat loss surveys
The survey works out the heat needed room by room. It’s the basis for sizing the heat pump and the radiators.
Homes in Putney and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 69% of households live in flats. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Fulham Palace, roughly 0.6 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go. Let us know who controls access to the building in Putney, as that saves time on the day.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
