Air source heat pumps in Broom Hill
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home; adding it alongside a boiler does not qualify. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, underfloor heating and radiator systems, and people most often call us about checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and no space for a hot water cylinder.
A terrace in Broom Hill shares walls with its neighbours, which helps keep heat in, provided the outdoor unit can sit somewhere that passes the MCS noise check.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

When to call us in Broom Hill
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme has made people ask whether their home could qualify. Eligibility depends on the property, the system and the scheme rules, so we check before you commit.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Comparing heat pump types
- Wanting to stop using oil, LPG or gas for heating
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Live in one of the older houses around Church of All Saints? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Questions from Broom Hill
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Broom Hill?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Broom Hill, if they qualify. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Broom Hill?
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.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How long will it take to install a heat pump?
The work takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call 07833 053749 to book it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Broom Hill before visiting.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- A survey covers heat loss, radiators, hot water and where the outdoor unit could sit.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Heat pumps in Broom Hill: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 39% of homes in the Broom Hill area date from 1919 to 1939, and Census 2021 figures found about 64% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age often have cavity walls that may or may not be insulated, which the survey checks. Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these. London homes can be short of space for an outdoor unit and cylinder, which affects the choice of heat pump.
With Bromley Palace about 3.7 miles north-west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump.
