Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Great Bromley
Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than most boilers which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. Common call-outs are for checking emitters for 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.
If your home in or near Great Bromley is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What affects the quote in Great Bromley
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- How many units are involved
- What kind of system it is
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The address and the type of property
Want a quote for air source heat pumps? Please give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details about the property. We will explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Great Bromley
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

What else we do in Great Bromley
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Work in Great Bromley is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You tell us about the home and what you want from a heat pump.
- 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.
- The system is installed and connected to the controls.
- The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Great Bromley: your questions answered
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Great Bromley?
Yes, if the home and the heat pump meet the scheme’s rules: Great Bromley is in England, where it applies. Air-to-water and ground source systems attract £7,500. Air-to-air gets £2,500, but only where it takes over from fossil-fuel heating and covers the whole home’s heating demand. We hold MCS certification, so the application is ours to make for you.
Can I fit a heat pump in Great Bromley without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Great Bromley. 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 Tendring council, typically the authority for Great Bromley.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
What’s the price of a heat pump installation?
£8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) for air-to-water, before the grant. Your price depends on the survey, the emitters and the hot water, and you get a fixed-price quote.
Is Great Bromley in your area?
Yes. Great Bromley is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Common problems we fix in Great Bromley
Air-to-air systems interest people who want cooling in summer as well as heating. They heat rooms through wall, floor or ceiling units, and can cool them when it’s hot. Whether a grant applies depends on the scheme conditions.
What we’re most often called about:
- Working out whether radiators need upsizing
- No space for a hot water cylinder
- An oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life
Castle House, roughly 4 miles north, is a reminder to check your home’s listing status: permitted development does not cover listed buildings.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
