About our air source heat pumps in Bromley
We begin with a room-by-room heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room so the system is sized to match. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. Common call-outs are for radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on air-to-air heat pumps, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps.
Homes in Bromley are often flats and terraces, where outside space is limited, and that decides which kind of heat pump works. Air-to-water needs room for the outdoor unit and usually a cylinder, while air-to-air units take less room.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Bromley before visiting.
- It begins with your house and the heating it relies on now.
- Every room’s heat loss is worked out on site.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- We install, commission and register the system under MCS.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

How the job changes from property to property
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Only one grant is available per property, and it cannot replace a low-carbon system. Hybrids are excluded.
Air-to-water heat pumps
An air-to-water heat pump costs £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get a £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant towards it, and we apply for it as the installer.
Common questions in Bromley
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Bromley?
Bromley is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Can I fit a heat pump in Bromley without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Fairfield Road Conservation Area, close to central Bromley. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with Tower Hamlets council, which is typically the planning authority for Bromley first.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What affects the cost of air source heat pumps
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How many units are involved
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Air source heat pumps in Bromley: the local picture
About 52% of homes in and around Bromley have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 89% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes usually lose less heat, which tends to suit a heat pump well. In flats, space for an outdoor unit and a cylinder can be limited, and the lease and freeholder come into it, so air-to-air is sometimes the better fit. In London, outside space and the rules for flats often decide which kind of heat pump suits.
Live in one of the older houses around Bow Church? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status. If your home is listed, like Sutton House about 2.2 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
