What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in South Kenton.

Air source heat pumps in South Kenton, done properly
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss and anything that needs changing is in the quote. If the problem is working out where a cylinder could go and wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating, we can help.
A terrace in South Kenton 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 periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
If anything does not seem right after installation, ring us on 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through. A yearly service is a good habit.
Keep insulation and draught-proofing in good order, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What a heat pump looks like in South Kenton
About 67% of homes in and around South Kenton were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Headstone Manor, roughly 2.6 miles north-west, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings. If your home is near South Kenton station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

South Kenton questions
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in South Kenton?
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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Kenton?
South Kenton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Is South Kenton in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes South Kenton.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
