Heat pumps in Bromley: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 67% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace, about 1.4 miles south-east, are a reminder that listed homes need consent before a heat pump goes in.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Bromley
Until 31 March 2027, a heat pump installed in residential accommodation carries 0% VAT, with 5% from 1 April 2027. This is HMRC’s energy-saving materials relief, which applies to homes rather than businesses, and for air-to-air systems we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. If you’re dealing with no space for a hot water cylinder and checking whether planning permission is needed, we can sort it out.
Homes around Bromley typically have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

When to call us in Bromley
People also ask about air-to-air heat pumps because they heat and cool. They warm rooms directly through indoor units, and can cool them when it’s hot. The grant only applies in some cases, so we check first.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Checking eligibility for a heat pump grant
- Deciding on the outdoor unit position
- No space for a hot water cylinder
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
What air source heat pumps cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Tax advice on your own circumstances
- Planning approval where permitted development doesn’t apply
- Insulation work, such as loft or cavity wall insulation
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. For a village like Bromley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- We measure heat loss for every room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Bromley
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Bromley?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Bromley. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask East Hertfordshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Bromley.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bromley?
Bromley 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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Bromley and across Hertfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
