When to call us in Tottenham
Many people look at heat pumps when an oil, LPG or gas boiler is getting old. Planning the change before the boiler fails gives you time to survey, design and apply for any grant instead of making a rushed decision when the heating stops.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Comparing heat pump types
If your home is near Bruce Grove station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly

Air source heat pumps in Tottenham
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit can’t be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Typical jobs include replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and checking emitters for a heat pump, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
For flats in Tottenham, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What happens if it’s left?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing, though the right time also depends on your home and heating. Booking in spring means a home or office in Tottenham is ready before the first hot week.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Tottenham questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Tottenham?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Tottenham?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Tottenham. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Tottenham, typically Haringey council).
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Is there VAT on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Heat pumps in Tottenham: local notes
About 39% of homes in Tottenham and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 59% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If your home is one of the older properties near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Let us know who controls access to the building in Tottenham, as that saves time on the day.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
