Air source heat pumps across Broad Street Green

Air source heat pumps in Broad Street Green, done properly

Every installation starts with a heat loss survey. That tells us how much heat the home needs, room by room, so the heat pump and the radiators or indoor units can be sized properly. Sizing by rule of thumb is not good enough. We are often asked to deal with choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air and planning and permitted development questions, on hot water cylinders, air-to-water heat pumps and homes heated by oil, LPG or gas.

Homes around Broad Street Green normally have room outside for a heat pump, so the design comes down to heat loss, radiators and hot water.

Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Looking after your system

Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Leave indoor units unobstructed
  • Use the settings explained at handover
  • Keep up with insulation and draught-proofing

We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Steady running suits a heat pump better than switching on and off so we set the controls up with you.

Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.

How the visit works

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Broad Street Green so we arrive with what’s needed.

  1. We start with your plans and the property.
  2. We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
  3. We recommend air-to-water or air-to-air and check the grant position.
  4. We install the heat pump and connect it up.
  5. The job ends with commissioning, the MCS certificate and a walk through the controls.

Before we arrive

  • Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

How we price air source heat pumps

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
  • What kind of system it is
  • Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract

The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

What owners can safely do

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

FAQs for Broad Street Green

Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street Green?

We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.

Does sea air affect air conditioning in Broad Street Green?

It can. Broad Street Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.

What does F-Gas certified mean?

Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.

Are you F-Gas certified?

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.

Is there a Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air?

There is a £2,500 grant for air-to-air, but only under strict conditions. The system must replace the existing fossil-fuel heating, meet the home’s full heating demand, be installed by an MCS certified installer and be in a home.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.

Homes in Broad Street Green and heat pumps

At about 3 miles from the coast, Broad Street Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal sites are worth mentioning at the survey, as salt air affects the outdoor unit and its fixings. The 2021 Census found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder. Poplar Grove Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 7 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Broad Street Green’s centre. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area?

Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Period properties close to Church of St Peter can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
