FAQs for Upton Park
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Upton Park?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Upton Park 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 is not an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Upton Park?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. 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.
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, so the quote covers any changes.
Air source heat pumps in Upton Park
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb isn’t good enough. Typical jobs include planning and permitted development questions and radiators that may be too small for a heat pump, on underfloor heating, hot water cylinders and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Upton Park can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Heat pumps in Upton Park: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 69% of homes across Upton Park and its surrounding area before 1919, and about 43% of households live in terraced houses, 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 a terrace, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need particular care. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
If your home is listed, like Eastbury Manor House about 2.7 miles east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Period properties close to St Martin's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

What the work involves, system by system
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small and that matters for comfort and running.
Air-to-air heat pumps
An air-to-air system heats rooms directly and can also provide cooling. They don’t heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
Looking after your system
So the system stays in good health:
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- File the MCS certificate safely
Should you have questions after the install, ring us on 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Heat pumps prefer steady, low-temperature running as explained at handover.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go. For a job in Upton Park, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Planning rules have specific conditions. We look at the planning position early, so there are no surprises covering listed buildings, conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. Planning ahead in Upton Park means you choose the date, not the weather.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
