How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Compton.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning installation in Compton
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. 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 before you get a fixed-price quote. Looking for air con installers near Compton? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
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.
For a home in or near Compton, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, and that’s hard to put right later. A survey now gives time to choose properly. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Compton
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes. Compton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Compton for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Compton is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
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. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What else we do in Compton
Homes in Compton and air conditioning
Compton’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Compton Conservation Area. In the mile around Compton’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 24 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Nicholas (grade I). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to Guildford council, normally the planning authority here where it’s needed. About 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Older streets near Church of St Nicholas may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Loseley Park (roughly 1 mile east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

For landlords and property managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We can remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t get forgotten.
Set it and leave it. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
