What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Woodside in advance.
- We find out about your home and the heating you have now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Related advice
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Woodside
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. Air-to-air systems do not heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. If the problem is working out where a cylinder could go and a boiler that’s getting old, we can help.
Homes in Woodside 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 an air-to-air system needs less space.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Heat pumps in Woodside: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 44% of homes in the Woodside area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 48% of households in terraced houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Shared walls keep a terrace’s heat loss down, while gardens next door make the noise check on the outdoor unit important. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
If your home is near Norwood Junction station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits. Addington Palace, roughly 2.4 miles south-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Keep the MCS certificate with the manufacturer’s paperwork
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
Where we applied for a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, we keep you informed through the process, as the installer applies for it.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
Woodside questions
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Woodside?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Woodside holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 Croydon council, which is normally the planning authority for Woodside first.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Woodside?
Woodside 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. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
What’s the difference between air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps?
The right choice depends on the property and what you need. The grant is £7,500 for eligible air-to-water systems and £2,500 for air-to-air in limited cases. We explain the options after the survey.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
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 though not every home qualifies.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Woodside
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- How easy the units are to reach
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. You will hear back from us the same working day.
