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 affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey. An early booking makes the visit to Checkendon easier to arrange.
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.

Air conditioning in Checkendon
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run, all before the price is fixed. A lot of the calls we get from Checkendon are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. That is normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
Around Checkendon, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Checkendon around you.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
What we’re called out for in Checkendon
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. 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.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
Greys Court (roughly 3.5 miles east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
Before you book anyone
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Common questions in Checkendon
Can you do air conditioning in Checkendon?
Yes. Checkendon is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Checkendon need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Checkendon holds about 10 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to South Oxfordshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Checkendon when it matters.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Air conditioning in Checkendon: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 41% of homes across Checkendon and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
If your home is in one of the older streets near St Peter and St Paul, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
