Air con installers in Earley
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Most enquiries from Earley start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
A single room takes a day in most homes, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer.
Around Earley, older homes and newer ones sit side by side, and that changes how the pipework goes in. Solid walls take longer to core drill than cavity walls, while a loft space can hide pipe runs that would otherwise be on the outside.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Earley
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your installation or service records
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
If you need air conditioning in Earley, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, plus some photos if they’re to hand. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. The more we can see first, the quicker the visit to Earley.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Homes in Earley and air conditioning
The middle of Earley is part of a conservation area. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Earley, including Radstock Cottage (grade II). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (normally Wokingham council) where necessary. The 2021 Census found about 87% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Around Trinity Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. Plenty of people near Earley station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

System by system
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork plus an access hatch for maintenance. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
Ceiling cassettes
Ceiling cassettes fit into the ceiling and push air out in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.
What happens if it’s left?
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.

Earley questions
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning in Earley?
The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details and pictures. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Is Earley in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Earley falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours, and the position can affect planning.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.

“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.”
