Common questions in Curdridge
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Curdridge?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Curdridge. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Curdridge, typically Winchester City council).
Can you do air conditioning in Curdridge?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Curdridge is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Curdridge
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round.

A single room takes a day in most homes, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Curdridge. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
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.

Air conditioning in Curdridge: local notes
About 53% of homes in the Curdridge area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes typically have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Living close to Church of St Peter? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. If you commute from Botley station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We plan the trip to Curdridge around you.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.

Let and managed properties
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
What the work involves, system by system
Ducted systems
Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, and all you see is a discreet grille. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes need space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate, with a condensate pump where the drain cannot fall naturally. The survey confirms the void and the drain route.
