Air-to-air heat pumps in Leytonstone
Ask at your Leytonstone survey whether the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant could apply to your home. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
We size every heat pump in Leytonstone for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Leytonstone sits around 7 miles from central London, inside our London area. We cover E11 and the streets around them.
Prices in Leytonstone
Budget around £3,895–£15,095 for 2–5 rooms including VAT for air-to-air heat pumps in and around Leytonstone. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the Small home option in Leytonstone (three or four rooms heated and cooled) usually comes to about £5,845–£9,845.
Two rooms
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.
Leytonstone is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
The survey
On a survey in Leytonstone the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. A survey in Leytonstone 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.
