Air source heat pumps in Single Street
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Single Street and the rest of Greater London. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We will explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for comparing heat pump types and no space for a hot water cylinder, on radiator systems, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
A terrace in Single Street shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for Single Street
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Single Street?
Single Street is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. You don’t apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Single Street?
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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Is Single Street in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Single Street, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Find out the grant position at the survey
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. It may give off steam or sound different for a few minutes and it’s part of how the system works.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. Airflow is what it runs on so keep it unobstructed.
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Some blocks in Single Street need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where we can park and unload

What a heat pump looks like in Single Street
About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Older homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. Down House lies about 1 mile north-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.

The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions. We explain which makes sense for you. Getting the work done in Single Street before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
