About our air source heat pumps in Woodside Park
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers, so radiators may need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey shows which rooms are fine and which need changes and anything that needs changing is in the quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and radiator systems, and the jobs we see most are checking whether planning permission is needed and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump.
Homes in Woodside Park are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and normally a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why deal with it now?
Getting the sizing wrong causes problems that are hard to fix later. Doing the survey properly from the start avoids that. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Why us?
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- Enquiries answered the same working day

What a heat pump looks like in Woodside Park
The last census (2021) found about 52% of households live in flats. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
With Heath Hall about 3 miles south, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Older homes near Saint Barnabas' Church may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right 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. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Woodside Park before visiting.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.

What the work involves, system by system
Hot water cylinders
An air-to-water heat pump heats hot water through a cylinder. Space for the cylinder is part of the survey particularly in homes with a combi boiler.
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. It does not apply to businesses.
Woodside Park: your questions answered
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Woodside Park?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Woodside Park?
Woodside Park is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and is not an add-on to a boiler. The installer applies, and we are MCS certified.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
We find out during the survey. Where a radiator is already large enough, it stays and any changes are in the quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work in Woodside Park?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Woodside Park.
