How we handle air source heat pumps in Yiewsley
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Eligibility depends on the property, so we confirm it before anything is agreed. If you’re dealing with a boiler that’s getting old and finding a place for the outdoor unit, we can help.
For flats in Yiewsley, 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.
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. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Yiewsley
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Yiewsley?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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 you do air source heat pumps in Yiewsley?
Yes, Yiewsley is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
As a guide, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the work so you’re without heating for as little time as possible, and we explain it in advance.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What air source heat pumps can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by air source heat pumps, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A grant for a home that does not meet the scheme rules
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Some blocks in Yiewsley need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- We fit the outdoor unit and connect it to the heating, hot water and controls.
- Commissioning, MCS certification and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Heat pumps in Yiewsley: local notes
About 45% of homes in and around Yiewsley date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Northolt Manor lies about 1.4 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Period properties close to St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
