- A business premises that overheats in summer
- An old system that needs replacing
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you are confident using it.
Book an annual service. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.
Air conditioning in Bobbing, done properly
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Every installation in Bobbing begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: the survey covers room size, glazing, insulation and how the room is used, so the unit is not too big or too small.
Around Bobbing, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What happens if it’s left?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: installing energy-saving materials in residential accommodation is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Bobbing.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Visits to Bobbing are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Your questions about air conditioning in Bobbing
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Bobbing?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Bobbing holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 planning department at Swale council, typically the authority for Bobbing.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Bobbing?
It can. Bobbing is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Air conditioning in Bobbing: local notes
Bobbing is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. VOA council tax data show about 41% of homes across Bobbing and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later. Newer homes usually have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking.
Homes near Church of St Bartholomew are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.
