What affects the cost of air source heat pumps

Air source heat pumps in Bromley
We install air source heat pumps in Bromley and across Greater London, and we are MCS certified. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. Common call-outs are for not knowing whether a grant applies and deciding on the outdoor unit position, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-air heat pumps.
In a flat in Bromley, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where a heat pump can go. The planning rules for flats are stricter than for houses, and we check before designing.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Bromley
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bromley?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Bromley Town Centre Conservation Area, close to central Bromley. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with the planning department at Bromley council, usually the authority for Bromley.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Bromley?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally 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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Heat pumps in Bromley: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 37% of homes in the Bromley area before 1919, and about 53% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. A flat may have no room for a hot water cylinder, and the freeholder usually has a say on the outdoor unit, which can tip the choice towards air-to-air. 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 Church of St Peter and St Paul? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Bromley
Many enquiries start with a question about the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Whether you can get the grant depends on your home and the scheme conditions, so we check before you commit.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Radiators that may be too small for a heat pump
- Questions about listed buildings or conservation areas
- No space for a hot water cylinder
Homeowners near Bromley South station often ask whether a heat pump can take over from the boiler, and the heat loss survey answers that.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why

This is general information, not tax advice.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Flats have tighter limits, and an Article 4 direction can remove permitted development rights. Listed building consent is a separate matter and we check what applies to you.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. For a job in Bromley, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- 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.
- The price comes back fixed and in writing, with the grant and VAT shown line by line.
- The outdoor unit, the indoor equipment and the controls are installed and connected.
- We commission the heat pump, complete the MCS paperwork and talk you through the controls.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Get a fixed-price quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
