Air conditioning in Exton: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
With historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House about 4.2 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Exton is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of property you have in Exton, our engineers can help with air conditioning.

Air conditioning in Exton, done properly
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and you will hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
In a village like Exton, 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Your questions about air conditioning in Exton
Do you cover Exton for air conditioning?
Yes, Exton is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Exton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Exton is in the Exton Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Winchester City council, typically the authority for Exton.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Signs you need air conditioning in Exton
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Homes near Church of St Peter and St Paul are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Exton so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Exton
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Hampshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

A customer’s words
“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.”
