Air source heat pumps in Stanmore, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. Conditions include a maximum outdoor unit size of 1.5 m³, compliance with MCS 020(a), use for more than cooling alone and a site outside the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, on underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems.
Homes in Stanmore are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and typically a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

After we have gone
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.

Let and managed properties
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
What a heat pump looks like in Stanmore
About 43% of homes in the Stanmore area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Headstone Manor lies about 2.5 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Older homes near Church of St John may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The condition of any existing system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
If you need air source heat pumps in Stanmore, phone 07833 053749. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
Common questions in Stanmore
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stanmore?
Stanmore is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Stanmore?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Stanmore.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- Installation follows on the agreed dates.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
