Air source heat pumps in Broxted, done properly
For an air-to-water heat pump, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes), before the grant. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers a £7,500 grant towards an eligible air-to-water installation, and as the installer we apply for it on your behalf. Not every home qualifies, so we check eligibility before you commit. The work covers hot water cylinders, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air.
If your home in or near Broxted is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme adds an extra £1,500 until March 2027 for an air source or ground source heat pump, on top of the £7,500.
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.

Broxted: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Broxted?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Broxted is in England, where it applies. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Is Broxted within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for most air-to-water installations, with air-to-air systems often quicker. We plan the work so you are without heating for as little time as possible and agreed before we start.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will I need planning consent for an air source heat pump?
Under the Planning Portal rules, a heat pump on a house can often be permitted development. Listed buildings are excluded, and listed building consent is separate, so we check for your property.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What a heat pump looks like in Broxted
About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Historic England lists about 16 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Broxted, including Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I). So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?
Horham Hall lies about 1.4 miles north-east. Owners of listed homes need consent before a heat pump is fitted, so it’s one of our first questions.
Broxted is about 7 miles north-east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. Our engineers cover Broxted for air source heat pumps and across the rest of Essex. In Essex alone we list 644 places, and Broxted is one. The nearest of our city pages is London, around 34 miles from Broxted.

Signs you need air source heat pumps in Broxted
When a home is being extended or renovated, it’s a good moment to look at heat pumps. It’s simpler to plan radiators, pipework and a cylinder while the builders are in.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Checking emitters for a heat pump
- A boiler that’s getting old
- Replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump
Live in one of the older houses around Church of St Mary the Virgin? Expect the survey to look closely at heat loss and at the building’s planning status.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Somewhere like Broxted, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First we find out about the property, the heating you have now and what you are hoping for.
- A heat loss survey works out how much heat each room needs, and we look at the radiators, the cylinder space and where the outdoor unit could go.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you’re eligible for and the VAT explained.
- Fitting day: the outdoor unit is placed, the indoor side connected and the controls set up.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
If the emitters cannot give out enough heat, some rooms will not get warm enough. Checking and upsizing them as part of the installation avoids that. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- A 24/7 emergency line
- Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba and more
- A fixed price before any work starts
