How we handle air source heat pumps in Welling
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Welling and the rest of Greater London. There are two kinds: air-to-water, which heats radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water, and air-to-air, which warms rooms through indoor units and can also cool. We’ll explain which type fits your home and why. If you are dealing with checking whether planning permission is needed and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, we can help.
In a flat in Welling, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Welling will be.
- We start with your plans and the property.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Do you need air source heat pumps in Welling?
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home
- A boiler that is getting old
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
If your home is one of the older properties near St John's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
What your quote should include
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
Your questions about air source heat pumps in Welling
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Welling?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually 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 Welling?
Welling 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Homes in Welling and heat pumps
About 75% of homes in the Welling area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and about 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
Historic houses such as Danson House, about 0.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Other services in Welling
Before you call an engineer
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 call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Welling and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
