Air source heat pumps in Temple Mills
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Common call-outs are for questions about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and underfloor heating.
In a London area like Temple Mills, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and usually a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Temple Mills.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
FAQs for Temple Mills
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Temple Mills?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Temple Mills is in England, where it applies. 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. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do you cover Temple Mills for air source heat pumps?
We do: Temple Mills falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
It depends on your home, your heating and whether you want cooling. Air-to-water can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we set out the options after the survey.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Seal draughts where you can
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Keep radiators clear
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. 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, using the settings agreed at handover.
Homes in Temple Mills and heat pumps
In the mile around Temple Mills’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Newham council, typically the planning authority here. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 84% of homes across Temple Mills and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 85% of households live in flats. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder typically has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
With Sutton House about 1.6 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. If you live near Stratford International station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
