How we handle air source heat pumps in South Wimbledon
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in South Wimbledon and the rest of Greater London. 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’ll explain which type fits your home and why. Typical jobs include moving away from fossil-fuel heating and comparing heat pump types, across underfloor heating, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
A terrace in South Wimbledon shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Questions from South Wimbledon
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in South Wimbledon?
South Wimbledon is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in South Wimbledon?
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.
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 you book anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Do you work in South Wimbledon?
Yes. Our engineers work in South Wimbledon, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do you protect the property while you 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.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. For a job in South Wimbledon, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.

Common problems we fix in South Wimbledon
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air
If your home is one of the older properties near Holy Trinity, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
Before you book anyone
- What records you get at the end
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it

What a heat pump looks like in South Wimbledon
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 66% of homes across South Wimbledon and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 49% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. 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.
For a home near Wimbledon station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
