Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Broom Street
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. Typical jobs include replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump, across underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-water heat pumps.
In a place like Broom Street, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so we check consent first.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We plan the trip to Broom Street around you.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- 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.
- A fixed-price quote explains the cost, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
What a heat pump looks like in Broom Street
Broom Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so a heat pump near the sea needs a sensible position and regular checks, and some models offer corrosion protection for coastal sites. About 39% of homes across Broom Street and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Period properties can still suit a heat pump, but the design has to start from accurate heat loss figures. Terraced houses share walls with neighbours, which helps, but the outdoor unit position needs care with noise next door.
A heat loss calculation decides the size of heat pump your home needs. Period properties close to Church of All Saints can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Broom Street is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. Anywhere in ME13, our engineers can take on air source heat pumps. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Broom Street among them. Bromley, roughly 40 miles off, has its own page on this site.
All of ME13 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Other places close to Broom Street include Graveney (1 mile south-east), Culmers (1 mile south-east), Goodnestone (1 mile south), Slutshole (2 miles south-east) and Hernhill (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles west) and Whitstable (5 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Broom Street

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Broom Street
Will a heat pump in Broom Street need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Broom Street holds about 12 listed buildings and structures. 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 the local planning authority (for Broom Street, usually Swale council) first.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air source heat pumps in Broom Street?
It can. Broom Street is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
Air-to-water systems are £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before any grant. The final price depends on the heat loss survey, the radiators and the cylinder and the quote is fixed.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Leave it or put it right?
The extra £1,500 for homes heated by oil or LPG with no mains gas is available until March 2027. For homes that qualify, that is a reason to look into it now. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Know the servicing conditions in your warranty
- Check eligibility for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme early
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
If you were eligible for a grant, we handle the application and keep you updated since the grant goes through the installer.
A well-insulated home helps a heat pump, as lower heat loss means the system has less to do.
What a customer said
“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.”
