Air-to-air heat pumps in Acton
London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset. Homes in Acton on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump.
Ask at your Acton survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. Acton is about 7 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. That includes the W3 postcode district.
Prices in Acton
Air-to-air heat pumps in Acton typically come in at £3,895–£15,095 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on London rates. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting London labour rates and parking and access costs. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. Typical Small home work (three or four rooms heated and cooled) lands around £5,845–£9,845 in this area.

Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.

Prices are shown before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. The £2,500 air-to-air grant applies only to eligible homes in England and Wales, using an MCS-certified heat pump installed by an MCS-certified installer, who applies for the grant and deducts it from the price. We confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
If your home in Acton is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
