Air source heat pumps in South Acton
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. If you’re dealing with working out whether radiators need upsizing and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
In a flat in South Acton, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. Permitted development limits are different for flats, so we check the position before we design.
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, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Pricing air source heat pumps in South Acton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The address and the type of property
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. 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.

When to call us in South Acton
Extensions, renovations and loft conversions are a natural time to rethink the heating. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
What happens if it’s left?
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. Booking in spring means a home or office in South Acton is ready before the first hot week.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Heat pumps in South Acton: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 41% of homes in the South Acton area before 1919, and about 66% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Historic houses such as Gunnersbury Park, about 0.3 miles south-west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

FAQs for South Acton
Is a heat pump in South Acton permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Gunnersbury Park Conservation Area takes in the middle of South Acton. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for South Acton, typically Hounslow council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Acton?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including South Acton, if they qualify. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: 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, which takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to South Acton.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
