About our air conditioning in Ashmore Green
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Looking for air con installers near Ashmore Green? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
Villages like Ashmore Green often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Rented and managed buildings
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
What we are called out for in Ashmore Green
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. With a split system, the compressor lives outside.
What we are most often called about:
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Too many options and no clear advice
Living close to St. Mark's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Questions to ask before booking
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted

FAQs for Ashmore Green
Is Ashmore Green in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Ashmore Green is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Ashmore Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ashmore Green. 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 West Berkshire council, usually the authority for Ashmore Green.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Normally, yes. 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
In most cases, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. For a village like Ashmore Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed, so the job looks as tidy as it works.
Use sensible settings. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
