FAQs for Brasted
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Brasted?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Brasted?
Brasted is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. The amount depends on the type of heat pump, and the survey confirms which applies. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is Brasted in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, and that includes Brasted.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Will my radiators work with a heat pump?
The heat loss survey answers that, room by room. Rooms where the radiator is big enough stay as they are, and any that need upsizing are set out in the quote.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Air source heat pumps in Brasted
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide £7,500 towards an eligible air-to-water system in England and Wales, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. We are often asked to deal with no space for a hot water cylinder and moving away from fossil-fuel heating, across radiator systems, underfloor heating and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.
In a London area like Brasted, many homes are flats or terraces with little outside space, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while an air-to-air system needs less space.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Before a visit in Brasted, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- We talk through your home, your current heating and what you want from a heat pump.
- On the visit we calculate what every room loses on a cold day, then check the radiators, room for a cylinder and outdoor unit options.
- A fixed-price quote follows, setting out the system, any grant that applies and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t block radiators or indoor units with furniture
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
Should you have questions after the install, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll look into it. Annual servicing helps keep the system working well.
Book a service every year. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
For landlords and property managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Air source heat pumps in Brasted: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 40% of homes in and around Brasted before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. In older homes, the heat loss calculation is especially important, as solid walls and draughts change the size of heat pump needed. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Quebec House lies about 1.5 miles south-west. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions. Older homes near Church of St Martin may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed.
