About our air source heat pumps in West Green
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Guesswork leads to systems that are too big or too small. Typical jobs include checking emitters for a heat pump and a boiler that’s getting old, on radiator systems, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes in West Green 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 normally a hot water cylinder inside, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in West Green
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in West Green?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central West Green is a short walk from the St Ann's Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where needed, we check with Haringey council, which is usually the planning authority for West Green.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in West Green?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: West Green 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.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Some radiators may be fine as they are, and some may need to be larger. At the lower temperatures a heat pump uses, radiators need more surface, and the survey checks each one.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
System by system
Air-to-water heat pumps
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 a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Why act early in West Green
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. A room-by-room survey gets it right first time. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in West Green early.

Air source heat pumps in West Green: the local picture
About 61% of homes in West Green and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 60% of households live in flats. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. 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.
If your home is listed, like Bruce Castle about 1.1 miles north-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work. Older homes near St Philip the Apostle may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
