Eton Wick: your questions answered
Is Eton Wick in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Eton Wick falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Eton Wick?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Eton Wick. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Windsor and Maidenhead council, which is usually the planning authority for Eton Wick.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
How we handle air conditioning in Eton Wick
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. People searching for “air con near me” in Eton Wick want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
For a home in or near Eton Wick, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Eton Wick.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Preparing 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 parking and loading
Get a fixed-price quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Outside, the pipework is neatly fixed and protected as agreed on the survey.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
Pricing air conditioning in Eton Wick
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The pipe route between the units
- The equipment or parts the job needs
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
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 before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. Booking before summer means the work in Eton Wick is done before the hot weather.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
