About our air conditioning in Bedhampton
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Looking for air con installers near Bedhampton? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Many installs in Bedhampton can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
A cottage and a newer house near Bedhampton are very different jobs. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Bedhampton questions
Is Bedhampton within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in Bedhampton without planning permission?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Old Bedhampton Conservation Area, close to central Bedhampton. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Bedhampton, usually Havant council).
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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Typically, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You will normally need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route and the lease will say. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Your installation or service records
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Other services in Bedhampton
What we are called out for in Bedhampton
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:
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Too many options and no clear advice
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
With historic houses such as Warblington Castle about 1.7 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit 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 Bedhampton.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air conditioning in Bedhampton: local notes
Bedhampton is within about 1 mile of the coast. 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. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 65% of homes in the Bedhampton area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 68% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
