Air source heat pumps in Wallend
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation and the installer makes the application. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and people most often call us about checking emitters for a heat pump and questions about where the outdoor unit can go.
Homes in Wallend are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. An air-to-water system needs space outside and typically a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Wallend.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Common questions in Wallend
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Wallend?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. 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 get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Wallend?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Wallend 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 isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
It depends on each radiator and the room it heats. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so radiators give out less heat, and the survey checks each one.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Air source heat pumps in Wallend: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 34% of homes in the Wallend area were built in 2000 or later, and Census 2021 figures found about 51% of households live in flats. Newer homes typically lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. 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.
If your home is near Barking station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Period properties close to St John the Baptist's Church can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Book a yearly service
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
Handover includes the controls and how to get the best from a heat pump. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts so we set the controls up with you.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
