Your questions about air source heat pumps in Turnham Green
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Turnham Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Chiswick House Conservation Area takes in the middle of Turnham Green. 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 Hounslow council, which is usually the planning authority for Turnham Green.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Turnham Green?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Air source heat pumps in Turnham Green
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. If the problem is wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and deciding on the outdoor unit position, we can help.
A terrace in Turnham Green shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
We’re 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.

Air source heat pumps in Turnham Green: the local picture
About 56% of homes in and around Turnham Green were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 47% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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. 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. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
For a home near Chiswick station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better. Live in one of the older houses around St. Nicholas Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

What air source heat pumps can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
- Promising eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Getting planning permission or listed building consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. If your building in Turnham Green has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
How to prepare

Advice
Pricing air source heat pumps in Turnham Green
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call 07833 053749 or email us.
For landlords and property managers
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
From one of our customers
“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.”
