Soho: your questions answered

Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Soho?

Soho is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Soho?

Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically 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.

Does servicing affect my warranty?

It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.

Do you work on all makes?

The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.

Do I get paperwork after the visit?

Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Soho

We install air source heat pumps in Soho and across Greater London, and we’re MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.

Terraced houses in a London area like Soho can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps

You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:

  • Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
  • Access, including height, roofs and ladders
  • The condition of any existing system

Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Before you get in touch

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:

  • A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
  • Your installation or service records
  • The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Soho?

Some people want to move away from burning fossil fuels at home. With a heat pump, the heat comes from the air outside and the system runs on electricity, which is why it fits that aim.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Working out whether radiators need upsizing
  • Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
  • Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump

If your home is near Tottenham Court Road station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

What your quote should include

  • Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
  • Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
  • Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved

Questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a job in Soho, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.

  1. We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
  2. A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
  3. From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
  4. Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
  5. Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.

Preparing for the visit

  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
  • Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
  • Let us know where we can park and unload

Advice

Why act early in Soho

A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Planning ahead gives time for the heat loss survey, the design and the grant application while the old heating still works. Planning ahead in Soho means you choose the date, not the weather.

Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.

What you get with us

  • Leading brands including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric and Fujitsu
  • One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East
  • We reply to enquiries the same working day
  • A 24/7 emergency line

Air source heat pumps around Soho

About 49% of homes in Soho and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 96% of households live in flats. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. 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. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.

Historic houses such as Benjamin Franklin House, about 0.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.
