An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Richmond and surrounding areas

From enquiry to handover in Richmond
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Richmond we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Before you book in Richmond
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Richmond are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Premises we work in around Richmond
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Common questions from businesses in Richmond
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Richmond?

Do you also cover Isleworth, Hounslow and Barnes?
Yes. Alongside Richmond, we also cover Isleworth, Hounslow and Barnes. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Richmond?
All of them, including DL10 and TW9. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
