How do I know what size unit to get?

Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.

How long will the installation take?

A single-room system is typically fitted in a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer and the quote says how long to expect.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.

Around Carter's Clay, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Common problems we fix in Carter's Clay

Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window doesn’t always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.

The things we’re asked about most are:

  • Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
  • Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
  • Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose

Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
  • Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
  • If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis

How it works

Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Somewhere like Carter's Clay, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

  1. You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Advice

Why it’s worth doing now in Carter's Clay

Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can typically heat as well, so it works for you in winter as well. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.

Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.

System by system

Pipework and condensate drains

After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. The results go into the commissioning records.

Electrical supply

The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. An older board may need extra work, and we explain why if so.

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.”
