Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Putney Vale
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. The work covers hot water cylinders, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and checking whether planning permission is needed.
For flats in Putney Vale, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common questions in Putney Vale
Is a heat pump in Putney Vale permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Putney Vale is a short walk from the Kingston Vale Conservation Area. 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 can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Kingston-Upon-Thames council, typically the authority for Putney Vale.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Putney Vale?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Air source heat pumps in Putney Vale: the local picture
VOA council tax data date about 71% of homes in and around Putney Vale to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 77% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Historic houses such as Southside House, about 1.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Why deal with it now?

Do you need air source heat pumps in Putney Vale?
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- A boiler that is getting old
If your home is one of the older properties near St John the Baptist, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
