What affects the quote in High Brooms
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the units are to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What electrical work the job needs
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Your installation or service records
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. 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.
How we handle air source heat pumps in High Brooms
Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. It shows how much heat each room needs on a cold day, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We’re often asked to deal with not knowing whether a grant applies and working out where a cylinder could go, across underfloor heating, air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps.
Cottages and older homes near High Brooms can lose heat faster, which a heat loss calculation will show. Sometimes insulation first is the better investment.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

High Brooms questions
Will you come out to High Brooms?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in High Brooms?
High Brooms is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. It gives £7,500 towards an air-to-water or ground source heat pump, or £2,500 towards an air-to-air heat pump that replaces the fossil-fuel heating and meets the whole home’s heating need. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near High Brooms.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- We survey the home room by room for heat loss, and check the emitters, hot water and outdoor unit position.
- You get a fixed-price quote, with any grant you are 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
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

How the job changes from property to property
VAT on heat pumps
HMRC says most air conditioning units are air source heat pumps, but each case depends on the facts and the VAT is confirmed on your quote.
Outdoor unit position and planning
Under permitted development, the outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less and must meet MCS 020(a) and not be used solely for cooling. It cannot be within the curtilage of a listed building.
What a heat pump looks like in High Brooms
High Brooms’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. That affects heat pumps: listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit where the outdoor unit can go under permitted development. Where needed, we check with Tunbridge Wells council, typically the planning authority here. High Brooms is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
