Heat Pumps in Croydon
Heat pump installation is the fitting of an air-source heat pump and associated hot water cylinder as a replacement for, or alternative to, a gas boiler, sized to the property's heat loss and often eligible for the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant.

Property styles in Croydon
Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre and South Croydon, through interwar semis across Addiscombe, Shirley and Thornton Heath, to larger detached houses in Purley, Coulsdon and Sanderstead. Loft conversions and rear extensions are common on the terraced and semi-detached stock, while the larger plots further south suit more substantial extension and outbuilding projects.
Planning considerations
Croydon Council (London Borough of Croydon) is the local planning authority. Several residential areas, including parts of South Croydon, Coulsdon and Addiscombe, are conservation areas, and parts of the borough's southern edge fall within the Metropolitan Green Belt, which affects extensions and new structures. As with all London boroughs, permitted development rights can also be more restricted on flats and some converted properties.

Do you provide heat pumps across all of Croydon?

Will I need to replace my radiators for a heat pump?
Often, yes — heat pumps run most efficiently at lower flow temperatures than a gas boiler, so existing radiators are sometimes undersized for the new system. We assess this during the heat loss survey and specify any radiator or underfloor heating changes needed.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant?
It's a government grant offering a fixed contribution toward the cost of installing an air-source or ground-source heat pump in England and Wales. Eligibility depends on the property and installer, so we advise on the likely position but can't guarantee an award.
