System by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, including a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.
How we handle air conditioning in Emery Down
We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Looking for air con installers near Emery Down? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the condensate drained away safely.
In a village like Emery Down, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from Emery Down
Can you do air conditioning in Emery Down?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Emery Down is part of that. To start, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Is air conditioning in Emery Down permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Swan Green Conservation Area, close to central Emery Down. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Emery Down, normally New Forest council).
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

The process
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Emery Down easier.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What affects the quote in Emery Down
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The brand, model and parts involved
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Air conditioning around Emery Down
About 40% of homes in the Emery Down area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. 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.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call. Around Christ Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
