Air conditioning in Broadford, done properly
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. People searching for “air con near me” in Broadford want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
In a village like Broadford, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: 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.

Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
If anything isn’t right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault, and early repairs are usually simpler.
What an install looks like in Broadford
The 2021 Census found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
If your home is in one of the older streets near St Michael, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. Plenty of people near Shalford station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Broadford.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Questions from Broadford
Can you do air conditioning in Broadford?
We do: Broadford falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Broadford?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Wey and Godalming Navigations Conservation Area, close to central Broadford. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Broadford, normally Guildford council).
How long will the installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access and the quote says how long to expect.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.

What owners can safely do
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
