About our air source heat pumps in Selhurst
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote. Please treat this as general information rather than tax advice. The work covers radiator systems, hot water cylinders and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and working out whether radiators need upsizing.
In a London area like Selhurst, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. An air-to-water system needs space outside and normally a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Selhurst
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
Look out for any of the following:
- Finding a place for the outdoor unit
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
Kingswood House lies about 2.2 miles north. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. 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 Selhurst.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Selhurst: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Selhurst?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Selhurst sits inside the South Norwood Conservation Area. 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 don’t 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 Selhurst, typically Croydon council).
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Selhurst?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Selhurst, if they qualify. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Air source heat pumps in Selhurst: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 41% of homes across Selhurst and its surrounding area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 55% of households live in flats. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Period properties close to Church of St Mark can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
