Questions from Snaresbrook
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Snaresbrook?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. 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.
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Snaresbrook?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Snaresbrook is a short walk from the Forest School 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 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 Snaresbrook, typically Redbridge council).
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. There’s one grant per property, you can’t get one to replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids are excluded and other conditions apply.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Snaresbrook
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
Homes in Snaresbrook are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air source heat pumps around Snaresbrook
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 33% of homes in the Snaresbrook area date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 54% of households live in flats. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
For a home near Wood Street station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Peter in the Forest? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order because it reduces the heat the system needs to supply.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Disconnecting or servicing a gas boiler
