Air source heat pumps in Broadford
An air-to-water heat pump heats water to a lower temperature than a typical boiler which means some radiators may need upsizing. We check each radiator against the room’s heat loss, and the quote sets it out. If the problem is no space for a hot water cylinder and comparing heat pump types, we can help.
In a place like Broadford, some homes are listed, and permitted development doesn’t cover listed buildings, so consent comes first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Common questions in Broadford
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Broadford?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Wey and Godalming Navigations Conservation Area is close to the centre of Broadford. The permitted development rules for heat pumps leave out listed buildings and stop outdoor units going on road-facing walls or roofs in conservation areas. Anything outside the rules needs an application, and we raise it with the planning department at Guildford council, normally the authority for Broadford first.
Will you come out to Broadford?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
After we’ve gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
- Let the heat pump run steadily, as set up at handover
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
After commissioning, the installation is registered under MCS and you receive the certificate. File it with the warranty documents for future reference.
Keep radiators and indoor units unobstructed, as the system relies on them giving out heat.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes, and we clear up before we go. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Broadford.
- It starts with a conversation about the home, the existing heating and your plans.
- The survey measures heat loss room by room and looks at radiators, hot water and the best spot for the outdoor unit.
- We send a fixed-price quote that shows the equipment, the grant position and the VAT.
- Installation covers the outdoor unit, the indoor connections and the controls.
- The system is commissioned and registered under MCS, and we show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Homes in Broadford and heat pumps
The 2021 Census found about 74% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses normally have space for an outdoor unit and a hot water cylinder.
With Loseley Park about 1.4 miles west, it’s worth asking whether your own home is listed before planning a heat pump. Period properties close to St Michael can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.
