Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Stoke Newington
A heat pump suits most Stoke Newington homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
In Stoke Newington, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage. Terraced streets in Stoke Newington often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully.
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.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners and landlords in England and Wales eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

- 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

Homeowners across Greater London can arrange a survey in Stoke Newington for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Stoke Newington can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Stoke Newington: questions
What size heat pump does a Stoke Newington home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Stoke Newington home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Stoke Newington house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Stoke Newington home.
How long does installation take in Stoke Newington?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stoke Newington home states the expected time.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
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.
