Aldrington air conditioning
Air conditioning for Aldrington and the surrounding area: a survey or diagnosis, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed-price quote.
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Too many options and no clear advice
System by system
Multi-split systems
A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, and the condensate drain carries it away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.
Air conditioning installation in Aldrington
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. When someone in Aldrington asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the condensate drained away safely.
In a smaller place like Aldrington, most installs are in houses and cottages, often with gardens, so there’s usually space for the outdoor unit. The wall type and how the electrics reach the unit are often the main things to check.
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, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
How it 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 about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Aldrington.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Common questions in Aldrington
Is Aldrington within the area you cover?
Yes. Aldrington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Aldrington need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Aldrington. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Brighton and Hove council, typically the authority for Aldrington.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Air conditioning around Aldrington
Aldrington lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so we site them out of the worst of the sea wind where we can, and can suggest models with corrosion-protected coils where the manufacturer offers them. About 43% of homes across Aldrington and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can.
With historic houses such as Portslade Manor about 1.4 miles north-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Plenty of people near Portslade station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
