About our air source heat pumps in Woodham Mortimer
As an MCS certified installer, we fit air source heat pumps for homes in Woodham Mortimer and the rest of Essex. Air-to-water systems feed your radiators or underfloor heating and hot water cylinder, while air-to-air systems heat rooms directly through indoor units and can cool them too. We will explain which type fits your home and why. If the problem is an oil, LPG or gas boiler near the end of its life and choosing between air-to-water and air-to-air, we can help.
If your home in or near Woodham Mortimer is heated by oil, LPG or electric heaters with no mains gas, an extra £1,500 is available through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme until March 2027, on top of the £7,500.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Heat pumps in Woodham Mortimer: local notes
About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Finding room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder is seldom a problem in homes like these.
Older homes near Church of St Margaret may need extra checks for planning and heat loss before a heat pump is designed. If your home is listed, like Danbury Place about 2.7 miles west, listed building consent comes before any heat pump work.
Woodham Mortimer is about 3 miles west of Maldon, in Essex. Whatever kind of property you have in Woodham Mortimer, our engineers can help with air source heat pumps. You will hear back from us the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. 644 places in Essex are on our list, large and small. We also work in London, around 34 miles away.
From Maldon Road, Conduit Lane and Bryant's Lane to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. Work in CM9 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. We also cover the places around Woodham Mortimer: Hazeleigh (1 mile south-east), Woodham Walter (1 mile north), Curling Tye Green (2 miles north-east), Ulting (3 miles north) and Maldon (3 miles east). Further out, we also cover Chelmsford (6 miles west), Basildon (12 miles south-west), Braintree (12 miles north) and Brentwood (15 miles south-west).

Why deal with it now?
The two types suit different homes and needs. Air-to-water heats radiators and hot water, and can attract a £7,500 grant where eligible; air-to-air heats and cools rooms, and only qualifies for £2,500 under strict conditions, and we explain which fits your home. Booking before summer means the work in Woodham Mortimer is done before the hot weather.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Woodham Mortimer: your questions answered
Is Woodham Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is a heat pump in Woodham Mortimer permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 20 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Woodham Mortimer. Heat pumps on houses are often permitted development, but listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where it’s needed, we check with Maldon council, which is typically the planning authority for Woodham Mortimer.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Am I eligible for a heat pump grant?
Not every home qualifies, so we check. Only one grant is available per property, it can’t replace a low-carbon system, and hybrids do not qualify, among other rules.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How much does an air source heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, it’s £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. Air-to-air prices are set after a survey, and we confirm the VAT on the quote.
What air conditioning will not do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Formal advice on VAT for your situation
- Grants for hybrid systems or replacements of low-carbon systems
- Gas boiler work, such as disconnecting the old boiler, which needs a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes several days for an air-to-water system with a new cylinder, less for an air-to-air system. For a place like Woodham Mortimer, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- The design covers the heat pump, emitters, hot water and outdoor unit.
- You get a fixed price, with any grant and the VAT set out.
- Installation, commissioning and MCS registration complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
How to get a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave indoor units unobstructed
- Read the manufacturer’s warranty terms for your brand
- Clear leaves and debris from the outdoor unit
Now and then in cold weather, the outdoor unit defrosts itself. You might see steam or hear the unit change note, and that’s normal.
Have the system serviced regularly. Your manufacturer’s warranty terms may say something about servicing.
