Air source heat pumps in Streatham Hill
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Streatham Hill 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 help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include finding a place for the outdoor unit and no space for a hot water cylinder, on radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Streatham Hill can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Use the settings explained at handover
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note and it’s part of how the system works.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
What a heat pump looks like in Streatham Hill
About 36% of homes in Streatham Hill and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 76% of households live in flats. 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.
Kingswood House lies about 1.9 miles east. 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 Margaret may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
Streatham Hill is about 2 miles south of Stockwell, in Greater London. Properties in Streatham Hill get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. 764 places in Greater London are on our list.

Advice
Questions from Streatham Hill
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Streatham Hill?
Streatham Hill 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Streatham Hill?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Any gas work on the existing boiler
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Draught-proofing and insulation upgrades
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
