- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A study or office that overheats during the day
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Andover Down easier.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- 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
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
About our air conditioning in Andover Down
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Andover Down it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Many installs in Andover Down can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we flag that at the survey.
Homes around Andover Down typically have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What the work involves, 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.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.

Air conditioning in Andover Down: the local picture

At about 61 miles from central London, Andover Down sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

Common problems we fix in Andover Down
Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. Heat comes in through the roof and rises from the rest of the building, which is why a loft bedroom can still be warm at bedtime.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- An old system that needs replacing
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
A system that heats as well as cools can also take the chill off a garden room or extension in winter.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
What air conditioning won’t do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work

FAQs for Andover Down
Do you cover smaller places like Andover Down?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning in Andover Down?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Will I need planning permission?
That depends on what’s being fitted and where. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
