Heat pump installation in Temple Bar, Greater London
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Temple Bar for heat pump installation. A fixed price before any work starts, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- A boiler that is getting old
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air source heat pumps in Temple Bar
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If the problem is moving away from fossil-fuel heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can sort it out.
A terrace in Temple Bar 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What else we do in Temple Bar
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. In a London area like Temple Bar, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading

Advice
What air conditioning won’t do
Air source heat pumps can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Radiator systems
- Hot water cylinders

What affects the quote in Temple Bar
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Quotes don’t take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Heat pumps in Temple Bar: local notes
About 48% of homes across Temple Bar and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 96% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House, about 0.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. For a home near City Thameslink station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
Temple Bar is about 1 mile south of St Pancras, in Greater London. Temple Bar gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Temple Bar is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for homes and businesses.
Not far from Temple Bar, a recent job of ours was on East Hill, Wandsworth (SW18), about 5 miles south-west: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Temple Bar
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Temple Bar?
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.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Temple Bar?
Temple Bar is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. Where you land depends on the size of heat pump, any radiators that need changing and the hot water cylinder. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
Do you work in Temple Bar?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Temple Bar included.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
