About our air source heat pumps in Sutton Common
Air source heat pumps collect heat from outdoor air and bring it inside, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way, and air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes simply called air conditioning. If the problem is questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, we can sort it out.
Terraced houses in a London area like Sutton Common can suit a heat pump well, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air source heat pumps around Sutton Common
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 73% of homes across Sutton Common and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 40% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is near St Helier station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. With Nonsuch Mansion about 2.1 miles south-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.

What else we do in Sutton Common
Sutton Common questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Sutton Common?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Sutton Common?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Sutton Common sits inside a conservation area. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask Sutton council, which is typically the planning authority for Sutton Common.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much VAT is charged on a heat pump in a home?
Under HMRC Notice 708/6, a heat pump installed in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027 and 5% after that. With air-to-air, HMRC’s view depends on the product, so we confirm the VAT on the quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

Yes. We work in Sutton Common and across Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Sutton Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
For landlords and property managers
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Sutton Common in advance.
