Air source heat pumps in Westcombe Park, done properly
Hot water from an air-to-water system is stored in a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. With air-to-air, hot water has to come from something else. If you are dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and questions about where the outdoor unit can go, we can sort it out.
For flats in Westcombe Park, the lease, the freeholder and the rules for flats all come into it. Permitted development limits are different for flats, and we check before designing.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Westcombe Park questions
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Westcombe Park?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Westcombe Park?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Westcombe Park is in a conservation area. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Greenwich council, which is normally the planning authority for Westcombe Park first.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
That depends on the room’s heat loss and the radiator’s size. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Will my home qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
Possibly. In England and Wales it pays £7,500 for an eligible air-to-water or ground source heat pump, and £2,500 for air-to-air under tighter rules. Until March 2027 there’s an extra £1,500 for air source or ground source heat pumps in homes on oil or LPG with no mains gas. We check your home against the rules at the survey.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Different systems, different jobs
VAT on heat pumps
Installing an air source heat pump in a home is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5% following HMRC’s rules on energy-saving materials. Businesses pay the standard rate.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump heats water for your radiators or underfloor heating and your hot water cylinder. It replaces the boiler as the main heat source and we install it to MCS standards.
Air source heat pumps in Westcombe Park: the local picture
About 37% of homes in Westcombe Park and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 61% of households live in flats. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. 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.
Historic houses such as Queen's House, about 1 mile west, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in. If your home is one of the older properties near St George's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.
