Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in South Bermondsey
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. If the problem is questions about where the outdoor unit can go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
A terrace in South Bermondsey shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Homes in South Bermondsey and heat pumps
About 78% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Period properties close to Church of St Augustine can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first. If you live near South Bermondsey station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.

Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
What air conditioning won’t do
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air source heat pumps won’t do:
- Tax rulings, which only HMRC can give
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in South Bermondsey
Is a heat pump in South Bermondsey permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 18 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Bermondsey. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Southwark council, normally the authority for South Bermondsey.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in South Bermondsey?
South Bermondsey is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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’re MCS certified.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
How do you keep the place clean during the 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 have done.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Why deal with it now?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises, including conservation areas, listed buildings and Article 4 directions. Planning ahead in South Bermondsey means you choose the date, not the weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
