Air source heat pumps in Broomfield, done properly
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Broomfield and the rest of Kent. 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 plans to switch to electric heating with a heat pump and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, air-to-water heat pumps and air-to-air heat pumps.
Homes around Broomfield usually have room outside for a heat pump, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

What a heat pump looks like in Broomfield
At about 2 miles from the coast, Broomfield is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
Every heat pump design starts with a room-by-room heat loss calculation. Period properties close to Church of St Bartholomew can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Our engineers cover Broomfield for air source heat pumps, along with the rest of Kent. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Broomfield is one of them. Bromley, roughly 49 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Leave it or put it right?
The 0% VAT rate on heat pumps in homes runs until 31 March 2027, then 5% applies. If you are thinking about a heat pump, that date is worth knowing alongside your own plans for the property. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.

Your questions about air source heat pumps in Broomfield
Is planning permission needed for a heat pump in Broomfield?
It depends on the property. The Broomfield Conservation Area is close to the centre of Broomfield. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Canterbury City council, typically the authority for Broomfield.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Broomfield?
It can. Broomfield 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.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you work on all makes?
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 explain why.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
Expect £8,000–£16,000 for an air-to-water system, with 0% VAT on homes, before the grant is taken off. The heat pump size, radiator changes and the cylinder decide where in that range you are. Air-to-air is priced after a survey.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Broomfield.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- The survey checks heat loss, emitters, hot water and the outdoor unit position.
- We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- After commissioning, you get the MCS certificate and a handover.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

How we price air source heat pumps
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
