About our air source heat pumps in West Heath
We install air source heat pumps in West Heath and across Greater London, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We help you work out which suits your home. The work covers underfloor heating, air-to-water heat pumps and radiator systems, and people most often call us about an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
For flats in West Heath, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, so we check the position before we design.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

West Heath: your questions answered
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in West Heath?
West Heath is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The grant is £7,500 for an air source (air-to-water) heat pump and £2,500 for an air-to-air system that replaces the existing fossil-fuel heating. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in West Heath without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of West Heath holds about 0 listed buildings and structures. 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 cannot face a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for West Heath, normally Bexley council).
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. We install both types.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
A typical installation takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before work begins.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Rented and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in West Heath and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
When to call us in West Heath
Homes off the gas grid, heated by oil or LPG, are often good candidates to look at. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes an extra £1,500, until March 2027, for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas, subject to the scheme rules.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in West Heath.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.

- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
How to prepare

Advice
Air source heat pumps around West Heath
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 73% of homes across West Heath and its surrounding area date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder. For a London home, the outdoor unit position and the MCS noise check need careful planning.
