Air source heat pumps in Woodford Wells
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Woodford Wells and the rest of Greater London. 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. We’re often asked to deal with wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating and checking whether planning permission is needed, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating.
Homes in Woodford Wells are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, which affects which heat pump suits. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

What else we do in Woodford Wells
Woodford Wells questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Woodford Wells?
Normally, 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.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Woodford Wells?
Woodford Wells is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
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, and we confirm eligibility before you commit.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
It takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. The cylinder, the radiators and the pipework make the biggest difference and the timing is set out with your quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How it works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. If your building in Woodford Wells has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.

What a heat pump looks like in Woodford Wells
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 40% of homes in Woodford Wells and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1919 to 1939. Whether the walls and loft have been insulated makes a real difference to the heat pump size for homes of that period. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is one of the older properties near All Saints' Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Woodford Wells before summer avoids the wait.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

What we are called out for in Woodford Wells
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules and we confirm it before you go ahead.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump
- Questions about where the outdoor unit can go
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
With Valentines Mansion about 3.3 miles south-east, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
