Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. 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.
How we handle air source heat pumps in Bradwell
A £2,500 grant is available for some air-to-air heat pumps, with conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating and meet the home’s full heating demand, it must be installed by an MCS certified installer, and it must be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. If you are dealing with deciding which kind of heat pump suits the home and replacing a combi boiler with a heat pump, we can help.
For a house near Bradwell, space outside is rarely the problem, so heat loss, radiators and the electrics are what we check.
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, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bradwell
A sudden boiler failure rarely leaves room to plan a heat pump properly. Surveying and designing in advance means the system is sized right and any grant is applied for before you need the heat. For a place like Bradwell, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Avoid switching the heat pump on and off often
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
- Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing
In cold, damp weather the outdoor unit runs a defrost cycle from time to time. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that is normal.
Book a service every year. Check the manufacturer’s terms, as they may include servicing conditions.
Bradwell questions
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bradwell?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Bradwell Conservation Area takes in the middle of Bradwell. On a house, an air source heat pump can often go ahead under permitted development, with an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 cubic metres and an installation that meets MCS 020(a), which includes a noise check. Those rights don’t reach the grounds of a listed building, and conservation areas rule out walls or roofs facing a road. If that might affect you, we ask the local planning authority (for Bradwell, typically Milton Keynes council).
Can I get the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Bradwell?
Bradwell is in England, where the Boiler Upgrade Scheme runs. 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. You do not apply yourself: the MCS certified installer does, which is us.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
How much time does a heat pump install need?
The work takes anything from a couple of days for air-to-air to the best part of a week for air-to-water with radiator changes. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to book it.

If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Bradwell when you book.
