Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Woodford Green
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Woodford Green is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Installers working in Woodford Green plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. For older properties in Woodford Green, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
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.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
Homeowners across Greater London can arrange a survey in Woodford Green for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything.
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 Woodford Green 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.

How long is the heating season in Woodford Green?
Woodford Green has about 7 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 40 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Air source heat pump installation in Woodford Green: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Woodford Green that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Woodford Green, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Woodford Green?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Woodford Green home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Woodford Green?
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.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
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.
