How we handle air source heat pumps in Yeading
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. Common call-outs are for working out where a cylinder could go and not knowing whether a grant applies, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
Terraced houses in a London area like Yeading can suit a heat pump well, as long as there’s a sensible spot for the outdoor unit and its noise is checked against the MCS planning standard.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Yeading
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Yeading?
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.
Is the heat pump grant available in Yeading?
Yeading 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.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
An installation 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. We confirm the timing after the survey, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange one.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
It varies from room to room. We check them all during the survey and the quote shows what’s needed.
Which type of heat pump is right for my home?
Air-to-water replaces the boiler for heating and hot water, while air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and we help you choose. Both are part of what we install.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.

What we’re called out for in Yeading
Some homes heated by electric heaters or storage heaters consider a heat pump instead. The survey tells you whether it’s practical and what’s involved along with whether any grant could apply.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Comparing heat pump types
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
Northolt Manor, roughly 1.4 miles north-east, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings.
What to look for in a quote
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
After we have gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Use the settings explained at handover
The warranty on the heat pump is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the conditions with you, including any servicing they ask for.
Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and stored items. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside so keep it unobstructed.
What happens on the day
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Yeading.
- 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.
- You get our view on the right type for the house, and on whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme applies.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Air source heat pumps around Yeading
About 45% of homes across Yeading and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. 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.
Period properties close to St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
