Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Esher
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be and we talk you through it on the survey. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Esher it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
In a place like Esher, the outdoor unit often goes on the ground at the side or rear of the house, where it’s out of sight from the road and easy to service.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Leave it or put it right?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. A good position keeps noise down and leaves room for servicing, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Air conditioning in Esher: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
With historic houses such as The Homewood about 1.8 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. If you work from home near Esher station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
Esher is about 5 miles north-west of Epsom, in Surrey. Our engineers cover Esher for air conditioning and across the rest of Surrey. Our list for Surrey has 395 entries, and Esher is one. Croydon, roughly 12 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Recent work in Esher
High Street, Esher (KT10)
- Property
- An independent restaurant and wine bar.
- Work carried out
- Installation of a Daikin VRF system serving the dining room, private dining room and bar area: five indoor units in total. The restaurant is in a listed building requiring careful positioning of the outdoor unit in the rear service yard and pre-application planning discussion with Elmbridge Borough Council.
- Outcome
- The restaurant owner reported that summer covers had increased significantly as previously the dining room had been uncomfortable in July and August. The planning process took six weeks but was straightforward once the correct approach was established.

Questions from Esher
Do you cover Esher for air conditioning?
We do: Esher falls inside our working area. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Is air conditioning in Esher permitted development?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Esher Conservation Area, close to central Esher. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Elmbridge council, which is usually the planning authority for Esher.
How do I know what size unit to get?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count and the survey covers each of them.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before any work starts.
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Esher.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Book an annual service
- Let filters dry fully before you put them back
The filters are the one part you’ll look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
