Leave it or put it right?
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. Planning ahead for a job in Burghclere means we can bring everything needed.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Burghclere
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Burghclere it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so there’s no separate electrician or building control visit to arrange.
For a home in or near Burghclere, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Draughts and missing insulation
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

System by system
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
Pipework and condensate drains
We pressure test and evacuate the pipework before the system is charged, which keeps moisture and air out of the circuit. The results go into the commissioning records.
Common questions in Burghclere
Will air conditioning in Burghclere need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 13 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Burghclere. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, normally the authority for Burghclere.
Can you do air conditioning in Burghclere?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Burghclere is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
How do I know what size unit to get?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, 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.
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Burghclere easier.
- 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.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
