Air Source Heat Pumps in Kensington, London
Better Gas Plumbing & Heating provides air source heat pump assessment, installation and heating-system integration for homes and managed properties in Kensington, London. Each project is considered around the building’s heat demand, existing emitters, hot-water requirements and available outdoor space so the proposed system is designed around the property rather than selected on headline output alone.

Kensington heat pump projects often begin with the building fabric, not the outdoor unit
Kensington contains period houses, mansion blocks and extensively refurbished properties where insulation levels and heat distribution can vary significantly from room to room. A heat pump can only be planned properly once those differences are understood, particularly where original radiators, later extensions and upgraded glazing all sit within the same heating system.
Better Gas reviews the existing setup before recommending a route forward. The aim is to identify the heat demand, likely operating temperatures and practical plant locations first, then decide whether the current radiators, pipework and hot-water arrangement can support the proposed system or should be improved as part of the project.

Air source heat pump design and integration for Kensington homes
Support can include initial suitability reviews, heat-demand assessment, outdoor-unit positioning, cylinder and hot-water planning, emitter checks, control strategy and integration with existing wet heating systems. Where a property needs preparatory work, Better Gas can also identify radiator, pipework or control changes that would help the system operate more effectively at lower flow temperatures.
— How We Work
A Considered Approach to Heat Pump Systems
Heat pumps perform best when the system is assessed as a whole. We consider the unit, heating circuit, controls and property requirements before recommending work.
— Why better gas
Heating-system knowledge matters when a heat pump is replacing more than just a boiler
Better Gas works across gas, plumbing, heating, controls and heat-pump systems, which is useful on Kensington properties where the existing installation has evolved through several refurbishments. Instead of viewing the heat pump as a standalone appliance, the team considers how heat will move through the full system, how domestic hot water will be produced and how the occupants actually use the property. That joined-up approach helps expose compatibility issues before installation rather than after commissioning.

Why lower flow temperatures can change radiator requirements in older Kensington properties
Many traditional radiator systems were selected around higher boiler flow temperatures. When a heat pump is designed to operate at lower temperatures, the same emitter may release less heat, so room-by-room demand and radiator output need to be compared rather than assumed.
In Kensington homes with a mix of original and newer radiators, this check can reveal that only selected rooms need larger emitters or other distribution improvements. Better Gas can use the assessment to shape a proportionate upgrade plan instead of replacing every visible component without evidence.
