Heat Pump Installation in Bromley
Future-Proof Heating for Homes & Businesses in Bromley
Energy prices continue to rise. Government policy is driving a clear shift away from gas boilers toward low-carbon heating, and that shift is accelerating. Many homeowners and landlords across Orpington and the surrounding area are now making the move to a more efficient, more sustainable heating system.
At Supreme Heating & Airconditioning, we do not just fit heat pumps, we design complete heating systems. Our MCS certified engineers carry out full heat loss calculations, assess your existing radiators, check insulation levels and confirm Boiler Upgrade Scheme eligibility before recommending any system. A heat pump installed on guesswork will cost more to run than the gas boiler it replaced.
We install air source and ground source heat pump systems across Orpington, Petts Wood, Bromley and the wider BR postcode area, from standard domestic properties to light commercial buildings.
Understanding Heat Pumps
What Is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?
A heat pump does not generate heat, it moves heat that already exists. That is why it is more efficient than burning gas.
How It Works
A heat pump extracts thermal energy from the outside air or ground and transfers it indoors using a refrigeration cycle. For every 1 unit of electricity used, a well-designed system typically delivers 3 to 4 units of heat, making it 300–400% efficient in the right conditions.
Is It Right for Your Home?
Modern heat pumps work effectively in a wide range of UK properties, including older homes, converted buildings and listed properties, when correctly sized and installed. The key is proper assessment. We carry out a full heat loss survey before we recommend anything.
Running Costs
Running costs depend on your electricity tariff, property insulation and system design. Heat pump tariffs from providers including Octopus Energy offer lower off-peak electricity rates specifically for heat pump users, reducing operational costs significantly.
Property Value
Properties with a good EPC rating and a modern low-carbon heating system command a growing premium. Installing a heat pump now improves your EPC, increases buyer appeal and future-proofs the property against upcoming low-carbon heating regulations.
Efficiency Explained
Why a Heat Pump Is More Efficient Than a Gas Boiler
Many heating companies in Bromley will replace your boiler. We design and install complete, future-ready heating systems, and we hold the accreditations to prove it.

The Most Important Factor
System Design: Why It Determines Everything
Air source heat pump performance depends on correct sizing and flow temperature planning. An oversized system wastes money. An undersized system underperforms in cold weather. The design is what determines whether your heat pump runs at 300% efficiency, or 120%. We get this right every time.

Our Heat Pump Services
Air Source, Ground Source & Boiler Upgrade Scheme
We install and commission both primary types of heat pump system, and we manage the full Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant process for eligible properties.
Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Bromley
Air source heat pumps are the most widely installed renewable heating system in the UK. Suitable for most residential properties and light commercial buildings, they extract heat from the outside air and deliver it into your central heating and hot water system.
- Full heat loss assessment and system design
- Radiator upgrades and heat pump convectors
- Underfloor heating integration available
- Hybrid system options (heat pump + boiler)
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application managed
- Complete MCS documentation at handover
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Ground source heat pumps extract heat from underground pipework buried in trenches or installed in boreholes. The ground maintains a more stable temperature than the air year-round, making ground source systems among the most consistently efficient heat pump options available.
- Suitable for properties with available land
- Borehole options for smaller plots
- Highest long-term efficiency of all heat pump types
- BUS grant applies, up to £7,500
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £7,500 toward a qualifying heat pump installation. Eligibility requires an MCS certified, BUS approved installer, and the application process must be managed correctly. We handle the entire process from eligibility check to final grant redemption.
- Property eligibility check at survey stage
- EPC review and pre-application guidance
- Full BUS application managed by our team
- MCS certification provided at handover

Up to £7,500 Toward Your Heat Pump, The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The UK government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides a grant of up to £7,500 toward the installed cost of a qualifying air source or ground source heat pump. The grant is deducted directly from your installation cost, you never receive and return it. It is applied at the point of installation.
To access the grant, you need an MCS certified installer who is registered on the BUS approved installer list. We are both. We carry out the eligibility check, prepare the documentation and submit the full application as part of our standard installation service.
There is no additional charge for grant management. It is part of what we do as a BUS approved installer.

Everything You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Source Heat Pumps in Bromley
The questions homeowners across Orpington, Bromley and the surrounding area ask us most often, answered directly.
How much does an air source heat pump cost in Orpington?
Air source heat pump installation in Orpington typically costs between £7,000 and £13,000 before the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Eligible homeowners can access up to £7,500 from the government, applied directly as a discount on your installation invoice. Final costs depend on property size, insulation, radiator upgrade requirements and the system specified. We provide a full written quotation after a free survey, with no obligation.
Do air source heat pumps work in cold weather?
Yes, when correctly designed and installed. Modern systems operate effectively down to −20°C and below. The common complaint about heat pumps struggling in cold weather almost always traces back to an undersized system or one designed to run at too high a flow temperature. Our heat loss calculations and design process exist specifically to prevent this.
Will I need to replace my radiators?
Not necessarily all of them. As part of our survey, we measure every radiator’s output at heat pump flow temperatures. Some properties require no changes. Others need a handful of radiators upsized. We specify exactly which ones and at what size, with the cost included in your written quotation before any work begins.
How long does air source heat pump installation take?
A standard installation typically takes two to four days, depending on whether radiator upgrades are required, the complexity of the existing system and any electrical work needed. The full timeline is confirmed in your written quotation before any work starts.
Is my home in Bromley suitable for an air source heat pump?
Many properties in Bromley and across the BR postcode area are suitable, including older homes that have had insulation improvements. Suitability depends on insulation levels, radiator sizing, available outdoor space and electrical supply. We carry out a full heat loss assessment before recommending any system. If your property is not suitable, we will tell you clearly and explain exactly why.
How does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant work?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £7,500 toward a qualifying air source heat pump installation. It is not a rebate, it is applied as a direct discount on your installation cost by the installer. We check your eligibility, prepare all required documentation and submit the application to OFGEM on your behalf. There is no additional charge for this service.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Modern systems operate at approximately 40–50 decibels, similar to a quiet conversation or a refrigerator. UK permitted development guidelines include noise limits for outdoor units. We plan the positioning of every outdoor unit as part of our installation design to comply with those limits and minimise any impact on your home and your neighbours.
How long does air source heat pump installation take?
We install air source heat pump systems from recognised manufacturers including Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric. All installations are registered with the manufacturer directly on the day of completion, ensuring your warranty is in your name and valid from the start. Full MCS certification and compliance documentation is provided at handover.
