About our air source heat pumps in Seven Kings
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, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Typical jobs include checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
For flats in Seven Kings, 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.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Seven Kings.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Get a fixed-price quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Pricing air source heat pumps in Seven Kings
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- What kind of system it is
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Seven Kings questions
Will a heat pump in Seven Kings need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Seven Kings holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 Seven Kings, normally Redbridge council).
Is the heat pump grant available in Seven Kings?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Seven Kings is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water work is in the £8,000–£16,000 range (0% VAT on homes), with any grant still to come off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are, and air-to-air systems are priced after a survey.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Is Seven Kings in your area?
Yes. We work in Seven Kings and across Greater London, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. 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.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air source heat pumps in Seven Kings: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 45% of homes in Seven Kings and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 41% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Homeowners near Seven Kings station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Older homes near St John the Evangelist may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
