Why deal with it now?
Choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air is easier with the facts. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Approvals for flats in Tyburn can take longer than the install itself.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Tyburn
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, and people most often call us about comparing heat pump types and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump.
In a flat in Tyburn, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

System by system
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. Cooling-only units are not included and need a check with the council.
Air-to-water heat pumps
Flow temperatures are lower than with a typical boiler, so radiator sizes matter.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Tyburn
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Tyburn?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Bayswater Conservation Area takes in the middle of Tyburn. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Westminster council, normally the authority for Tyburn.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Tyburn?
Tyburn is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Are my radiators big enough for a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. The survey compares each radiator with the room’s needs and the quote shows what’s needed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you work in Tyburn?
Yes. We work in Tyburn and the rest of 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 use the quote form.
What a heat pump looks like in Tyburn
About 50% of homes in and around Tyburn were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 91% of households live in flats. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. For flats, the first questions are where an outdoor unit could go, whether a cylinder fits and what the lease allows. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Homeowners near London Paddington station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that. Period properties close to Church of the Annunciation can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What happens on the day
Our engineers 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 a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Tyburn.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
