Heat pump installation in West Twyford, Greater London
Need air source heat pumps in West Twyford? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- Not knowing whether a grant applies
- Checking whether planning permission is needed
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Do not block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Ask about the grant before you commit
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Once commissioned, we register the installation with MCS and give you the certificate. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork, as you may need it later.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in West Twyford
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in West Twyford 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 help you work out which suits your home. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and not knowing whether a grant applies, across radiator systems, air-to-air heat pumps and hot water cylinders.
Homes in West Twyford 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 usually a hot water cylinder inside, while air-to-air units take less room.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What the work involves, 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.
Air-to-air heat pumps
The £2,500 grant for air-to-air applies only when the system replaces the fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s demand. It also has to be fitted by an MCS certified installer, in a home.
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. For a job in West Twyford, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- From those figures we size the heat pump and decide on radiators, cylinder and outdoor position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Questions from West Twyford
Is a heat pump in West Twyford permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central West Twyford. 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 planning department at Ealing council, normally the authority for West Twyford.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in West Twyford?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
We check the scheme rules for your property before you go ahead. As the installer, we make the application where you qualify.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Air source heat pumps around West Twyford
About 49% of homes across West Twyford and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 59% of households live in flats. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Flats are often harder for air-to-water systems, so we look at whether air-to-air suits better. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Pitzhanger Manor lies about 1.8 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. If you live near Stonebridge Park station, the survey compares air-to-water and air-to-air for your home before anything is quoted.
