Homes in Walham Green and heat pumps
VOA council tax data put about 54% of homes in and around Walham Green before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 76% of households live in flats. 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. 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. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
Historic houses such as Carlyle's House, about 1 mile north-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Air source heat pumps in Walham Green, done properly
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. It works on the same principle as air conditioning, run the other way and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for questions about listed buildings or conservation areas and no space for a hot water cylinder, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
For flats in Walham Green, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Walham Green: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Walham Green?
Walham Green is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Walham Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Walham Green sits inside a conservation area. 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 do not 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 Hammersmith and Fulham council, which is normally the planning authority for Walham Green.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Walham Green and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
It takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference, and we confirm the timing with your quote.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Walham Green.
- 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.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Do you need air source heat pumps in Walham Green?
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved, and we explain the grant position for your home.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
For a home near Imperial Wharf station, the survey looks at whether an air-to-water or air-to-air heat pump suits better.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- What records you get at the end

What else we do in Walham Green
How we price air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
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.”
