How we price air conditioning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How easy the units are to reach
Whatever the property, the quote works 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.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Cobham
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Outdoor units around Cobham often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Everything the job in Cobham needs is worked out beforehand.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about parking and loading

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Offices and shops usually need several units and sensible central controls. Sizing takes account of occupants, equipment and windows, and plan the work so the business keeps running.
Air conditioning in Cobham: the local picture
About 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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. In the mile around Cobham’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Elmbridge council, usually the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed.
The Homewood, about 1.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Older streets near Church of St Andrew may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
Cobham is about 6 miles west of Epsom, in Surrey. Whatever kind of property you have in Cobham, our engineers can help with air conditioning. You’ll hear back from us the same working day and our emergency line runs 24/7. In Surrey alone we list 395 places, and Cobham is one. Guildford, roughly 10 miles off, has its own page on this site.
A recent job in Cobham
Between Streets, Cobham (KT11)
- Property
- A five-bedroom detached house with a detached annexe.
- Work carried out
- Installation of a Mitsubishi Electric multi-split system in the main house: covering four bedrooms and the kitchen-living area: and a separate split system in the annexe, which is used as a home office and guest accommodation. The annexe installation required a separate refrigerant circuit from the main house system.
- Outcome
- The client, who runs a business from the annexe, reported that the office is now productive year-round. The guest annexe has also been more frequently used in summer since the installation, with the air conditioning being specifically appreciated by overseas guests accustomed to air-conditioned accommodation.

Your questions about air conditioning in Cobham
Is Cobham within the area you cover?
Yes. Cobham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning in Cobham?
The easiest way is to call us on 07833 053749 with a few details and pictures. Where photos are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I need planning permission?
Not necessarily. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it normally comes up, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
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.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
