Air conditioning for homes and businesses in East Farleigh
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
In a village like East Farleigh, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
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.

When to call us in East Farleigh
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window can’t close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. With a split system, the compressor lives outside.
Look out for these signs:
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
Around Church of Saint Mary, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
How it 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 the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near East Farleigh is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- 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.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What owners can safely do
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: 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 phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book an annual service
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
The handover includes the records you need: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.

What else we do in East Farleigh
East Farleigh: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like East Farleigh?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you do air conditioning in East Farleigh?
Yes, East Farleigh is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Typically, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most of the time, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
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.
Air conditioning in East Farleigh: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 30% of homes in the East Farleigh area were built in 2000 or later. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. The centre of East Farleigh lies within the East Farleigh Lower Road Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of East Farleigh and it takes in 2 conservation areas. About 30 listed entries lie within half a mile of central East Farleigh, Church of Saint Mary (grade II*) among them. Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
If you work from home near East Farleigh station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
