Air source heat pumps in Ruislip
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. We’re often asked to deal with working out where a cylinder could go and working out whether radiators need upsizing, across air-to-air heat pumps, radiator systems and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For flats in Ruislip, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Homes in Ruislip and heat pumps
About 58% of homes across Ruislip and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and about 68% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Historic houses such as Ickenham Hall, about 1.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
Ruislip is about 12 miles west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover Ruislip for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Greater London. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Ruislip is one of them. London, roughly 14 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Ruislip
For homes with no mains gas, heated by oil or LPG, a heat pump is well worth considering. Until March 2027, an extra £1,500 is available for air source and 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:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Period properties close to St Lawrence can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Ruislip.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you’re hoping for.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Keep to regular servicing
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork for future reference.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.

Common questions in Ruislip
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Ruislip?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Ruislip is in England, where it applies. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Ruislip?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Ruislip holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. 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 Hillingdon council, normally the authority for Ruislip.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs, so the quote covers any changes.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water feeds your central heating and hot water, while air-to-air warms and cools rooms directly. With air-to-air, hot water needs another source, and we explain which suits your home.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Is Ruislip in your area?
Yes. Ruislip is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
