What a heat pump looks like in Broomfield
About 32% of homes in and around Broomfield have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Lower heat loss in recent homes often means a smaller heat pump and fewer radiator changes. Houses typically have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
If your home is listed, like Leeds Castle about 0.4 miles north-west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Air source heat pumps in Broomfield
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers air-to-water heat pumps, air-to-air heat pumps and underfloor heating, and people most often call us about radiators that may be too small for a heat pump and working out where a cylinder could go.
Homes around Broomfield normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Store the MCS certificate and warranty documents together
- Keep the outdoor unit clear all year
Should you have questions after the install, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll look into it. A yearly service is a good habit.
Let the heat pump run steadily rather than switching it on and off as explained at handover.
How the job changes from property to property
Heat loss surveys
Without a proper survey, a heat pump can be too big or too small and that matters for comfort and running.
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps warm rooms through indoor units and can cool them in summer. They do not heat hot water so you will need another way to heat it.
FAQs for Broomfield
Is a heat pump in Broomfield permitted development?
It depends on the property. The Broomfield Conservation Area is close to the centre of Broomfield. 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 the local planning authority (for Broomfield, usually Maidstone council).
Will you come out to Broomfield?
Yes. Broomfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
What VAT do I pay on a heat pump?
For homes, 0% until 31 March 2027, under HMRC Notice 708/6 and 5% after that. For air-to-air systems, we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Broomfield and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
