Looking for heat pump installers in North London? We connect homeowners across N postcodes with vetted, MCS-certified installers who understand North London properties. Check your £7,500 grant eligibility and compare quotes from local professionals.
North London has some of the UK's most expensive property and strongest environmental awareness. Hampstead, Highgate, Islington, Camden – these areas are leading the way on Air Source Heat Pump adoption.
Properties here are typically well-maintained with good insulation already in place. Conservation areas are common, but local installers know how to navigate planning requirements.
North London costs tend to be at the higher end. Labor rates are premium, properties are often larger, and many homes are in conservation areas. Expect £12,000-£15,000 for most installations before the grant.
Hampstead, Highgate, Muswell Hill
These are substantial properties, often 4-5 bedrooms with high ceilings and multiple reception rooms. Beautiful period features but can be expensive to heat.
Most have been improved over the years with better insulation and double glazing. Heat pumps work well here, though you might need multiple units or a larger system for the whole house.
Typical cost: £13,000 - £17,000
After grant: £5,500 - £9,500
Islington, Camden, Holloway
Victorian and Edwardian houses converted into flats are common throughout North London. Each flat needs individual consideration for Air Source Heat Pump suitability.
Ground floor and garden flats are easiest. Upper floors need outdoor space (balcony or roof access) and freeholder permission. Building management companies in Islington tend to be relatively progressive about Air Source Heat Pumps.
Typical cost: £11,000 - £14,000
After grant: £3,500 - £6,500
King's Cross, Camden, Finsbury Park
New developments around King's Cross and Finsbury Park offer good opportunities for Air Source Heat Pumps. Well-insulated buildings with underfloor heating are ideal candidates.
Balconies are usually suitable for outdoor units. Main challenge is getting management company approval and finding space for the hot water cylinder.
Typical cost: £10,000 - £13,000
After grant: £2,500 - £5,500
Hampstead, Highgate, Kentish Town
Many North London areas have conservation status. This doesn't mean you can't get a Air Source Heat Pump, but positioning matters.
Side or rear walls usually fine. Front-facing installations need planning permission. Our installers have extensive experience working with Camden and Barnet planning departments.
Typical cost: £12,000 - £16,000
After grant: £4,500 - £8,500

Yes, very much so. Larger properties might need bigger units or multiple Air Source Heat Pumps to cover the whole house. The key is proper heat loss calculations during the survey. Many Hampstead homes already have good insulation, which helps enormously. Running costs can actually be lower than gas heating because of how efficient Air Source Heat Pumps are.
Conservation areas don't automatically mean no Air Source Heat Pump. It depends where the outdoor unit goes. Rear walls not visible from the street usually don't need planning permission. Front walls probably will. Our installers know Camden and Barnet planning rules well and can advise on positioning that's likely to be approved.
Many do. Ground floor flats with garden access are straightforward. Upper floor flats need either balcony space or roof access for the outdoor unit. You'll need permission from all freeholders in the building, which can take time. Islington freeholders tend to be more progressive than some other boroughs, but it's not guaranteed.
