Air source heat pumps around Stoughton
The Stoughton Barracks Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Stoughton, within about a third of a mile. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Stoughton and it takes in 2 conservation areas. For a heat pump, permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, so we check with the planning team at Guildford council, which typically handles Stoughton where needed. The 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near Emmanuel Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen.

Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Stoughton
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your home, using electricity to drive the process. The technology is close to air conditioning, which is why we install both and the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Common call-outs are for checking eligibility for a heat pump grant and planning and permitted development questions, across hot water cylinders, underfloor heating and air-to-air heat pumps.
Older homes around Stoughton can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Look out for these signs:
- Moving away from fossil-fuel heating
- Ageing boilers that will need replacing
- Planning and permitted development questions
If your home is listed, like Guildford Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.

Safe owner checks
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
FAQs for Stoughton
Does the Boiler Upgrade Scheme cover homes in Stoughton?
Stoughton is covered, as the scheme runs across England and Wales. For an air-to-water heat pump the amount is £7,500; an air-to-air system can get £2,500 if it replaces the fossil-fuel heating outright, meets the home’s full heating demand and isn’t an add-on to a boiler. As an MCS certified installer, we apply for it on your behalf.
Is Stoughton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump?
In England, many air source heat pumps on houses can be permitted development, if the conditions are met. The outdoor unit must be 1.5 m³ or less, comply with MCS 020(a), not be cooling-only and not be within a listed building’s curtilage.
How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Stoughton.
- Step one is understanding the house, how it’s heated today and what you’d like to change.
- 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.
- Once it’s running correctly, the MCS certificate is issued and we show you the settings.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
How we price air source heat pumps
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Before you get in touch
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
