Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Notting Hill
A heat pump suits most Notting Hill homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Homeowners across Greater London can arrange a survey in Notting Hill for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. Many homes in Notting Hill have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
What's included
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
For older properties in Notting Hill, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Notting Hill quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
Air source heat pump installation costs around Notting Hill
These are guide prices for Greater London, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

How long is the heating season in Notting Hill?
On the shortest day Notting Hill gets about 7 hours 49 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Air source heat pump installation in Notting Hill: questions
Do you cover Kensington as well as Notting Hill?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Kensington, which is about a mile south-east of Notting Hill, and across Greater London.
How soon can you survey a home in Notting Hill?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Greater London. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Notting Hill that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Notting Hill, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
