Air-to-air heat pumps in Canary Wharf
Ask at your Canary Wharf survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
Homes in Canary Wharf on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Our London coverage takes in Canary Wharf, about 4 miles from central London. Coverage includes E14 and SE16.
Prices in Canary Wharf
Air-to-air heat pumps in Canary Wharf typically come in at £3,895–£15,095 for 2–5 rooms including VAT, based on London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. What moves a quote in Canary Wharf up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. Typical Small home work (three or four rooms heated and cooled) lands around £5,845–£9,845 in this area.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.
Small home
Three or four rooms heated and cooled.
Whole home
Five or more rooms, sized to replace the existing heating.
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
For most houses in Canary Wharf, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
If your home in Canary Wharf 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.
The survey
A survey in Canary Wharf usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
