About Us

A long established company built from the ground up.

In 1999 CB Heating was established by a very young and talented, apprentice trained plumber, Clayton Browne.

Clayton saw a future in renewable energy when he was working with Thermal Solar Energy systems, over 20 years ago. As new technologies developed and emerged on to the market, he was keen to explore and embrace them. Clayton Installed his first Air Source Heat pump with an underfloor heating system on a beautiful barn conversion all the way back in the year 2000. Since then he and his installation teams have installed nearly a 1,000 more!

Today CB Heat Pumps has a Sustainable Home Centre that showcases the Daikin range of products. It is a huge privilege to be recognised and selected by a global brand to become one of their six regional centres. You are welcome to come and visit our showroom to see, hear, and feel how a heat pump works.

We are certainly not new to this technology! Air Source Heat Pump performance has improved drastically over the last few years, and to get the absolute best out of them they require several precise calculations to be carried out to calculate the space to be heated, the rate of heat loss, and the most appropriate specification for heat delivery.

Due to our experience and quality of workmanship, we put a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every system we provide and install through our Air Source Heat Pump division – CB Heat Pumps.

Today more and more households are changing from outdated, Oil and LPG boilers to a highly efficient, low cost, environmentally friendly alternative.

Clayton and the CB Heat Pump team are the right first choice for a reliable and efficient Air Source Heat Pump installation from a company trading for over 20 years.

Meet The Team

Highest calibre of quality engineers & staff throughout our family.

Clayton Browne

Owner / Founder

Although it may feel like it at times, it’s not all work, work, work… Time out of the office is family time. Clayton is Dad to 2 young boys and a little girl. Whilst the lads are definitely fellow plumbers in the making, his daughter is his angel.

Clayton always had a “Work hard, Play hard” mentality, but nowadays it’s more of a “work hard, and play with the kids” mentality… and before being a dad to a daughter, he never thought he’d enjoy getting his nails painted!

Clare Browne

Owner / Founder

Clare is “time served” in Business Administration and Accounting, and is the Operations Director of CB Heat Pumps.

Clare and Clayton have been by each other’s side for 20 years through thick and thin… and we’re not just talking about Clayton’s hair. They are, and have always been a true team, complimenting each other in their successful work and home life.

David Long

Project Manager

Dave has a long and impressive career in Heating and Mechanical Engineering, spanning over 40 years. He has worked on huge commercial projects and hundreds, if not thousands, of small scale and domestic installations.

His claim to fame is that he project managed the tallest modular build in London, possibly the world! Yeah, we were expecting something funny too. But if he’s a better project manager than he is a comedian, we’re ok with that!

Joshua Palmer

Installation Manager

Don’t let Josh’s youthful looks deceive you, his knowledge of MCS procedures, EPC requirements and experience as our resident Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA), exceed that of many a fellow man.
Allowing him to design you a bespoke solution for your requirements according to the Specific Heat Loss of your property. He is also responsible for setting up your RHI payments on the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme.

When he’s not saving you pounds, Josh is saving lives! As a qualified medic you might bump into him at sporting events and music festivals around the country. Unsurprisingly he’s also in charge of our first aid box here in the office!

Dan Andrews

Head of Business Development

Dan and Clayton met when they worked at the same company over 20 years ago. Whilst Clayton set up CB Heating, Dan went on to build numerous multi-million turnover renewable energy companies in both the UK and Ireland.

At the beginning of 2020 Dan and Clayton once again joined forces on a mission to make CB Heat Pumps the nation’s favourite Heat Pump company

Jack Kowalski

Sales & Marketing

Jack joined the team in 2020. Coming from a previous background in renewable energy, jack brings a fresh view on how the renewable heating market should look.

Lexi

Chief Enjoyment Officer (CEO)

Starting off as the family dog in 2014, she was promoted to the company dog in 2018. She is by far the most popular member of the team, always full of energy, and happy to lead the daily exercise program of walkies and fetch.

Occasionally her snoring can be heard in the afternoons, but we’re sure it’s just because she’s concentrating.

Senior Heat Pump Installation Team

Our Shining Glory!

Our team of installers are our shining glory. They are what make the difference between a mediocre Air Source Heat Pump installation and an outstanding installation with experienced installers from CB Heat Pumps.

We get regular positive feedback from our customers telling us how our installers were polite and pleasant to have in their homes, how courteous and respectful they were of their surroundings, and even on occasion, how they actually left the house cleaner than when they arrived!

*We are also happy to provide female installers to those that may be more comfortable with a female workforce in their home”
