Because every building differs, commercial work is priced after a site survey rather than from a guide price. We plan the installation around your operation, including phased or out-of-hours working where the building must stay open. Funding for non-domestic buildings depends on the building, its size and the nation it is in, so we check what, if anything, applies at survey.
Businesses across Greater London can arrange a site survey of premises in Greater London before any equipment is specified. Premises in Greater London close to homes need careful plant siting and, where required, an acoustic assessment. For blocks of flats in Greater London, we assess whether individual units or a communal system suits the building and how it is managed.
Who it suits
- Buildings with roof or yard space for outdoor plant
- Offices, shops and small commercial premises replacing gas or oil boilers
- Blocks of flats and houses in multiple occupation needing shared or per-flat systems
- Landlords and managing agents planning low-carbon upgrades
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Greater London 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.
Prices
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey and load calculation.

Commercial heat pump installation questions
Can you install without closing the business?
Usually, yes. Outdoor plant, pipework and controls can often be installed while the existing heating still runs, with the switchover planned for a short window, such as a weekend or a quieter time of year. Work inside occupied areas can be phased. The programme in your quote sets out what happens when, so you can plan staff and customers around it.
How much does a commercial heat pump cost?
Commercial heat pumps are priced after a site survey, because cost depends on the building's heat load, the number and size of units, where the plant goes, access, and any changes to the heating system inside. We then give a written quote setting out the equipment, the programme and what is included. There is no reliable guide price for commercial work without seeing the building.
Can heat pumps go on a flat roof?
Yes, flat roofs are a common position for commercial plant. The roof needs a structural check for the weight of the units and their frames, and the installation usually needs a lifting plan, anti-vibration mounts, drainage for defrost water and safe access for maintenance. Pipe and cable routes from the roof into the building are planned at survey.
What is a cascaded heat pump system?
A cascaded system links two or more outdoor heat pump units to one controller, which runs as many units as demand needs. On mild days one unit might run; on cold days all of them. This keeps each unit working efficiently, spreads wear across the units and means heating can usually continue at reduced output if one unit needs repair or servicing.
