Air conditioning installation in Farnborough, Hampshire

What affects the cost of air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, 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, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Air con installers in Farnborough
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Farnborough it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Around Farnborough, older homes and newer ones sit side by side, and that changes how the pipework goes in. Solid walls take longer to core drill than cavity walls, and a loft or a void can hide a pipe run that would otherwise be on show.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

How the job changes from property to property
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, which the condensate drain takes away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.
Multi-split systems
A multi-split runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it, with each room controlled separately.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Farnborough
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Air conditioning in Farnborough: the local picture
About 42% of homes in the Farnborough area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through.
Plenty of people near Farnborough Main station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Homes near Church of St Christopher are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Farnborough questions
Do you cover Farnborough for air conditioning?
We do: Farnborough falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in Farnborough without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Farnborough is in a conservation area. 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 necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Farnborough, typically Rushmoor council).
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
A single-room 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 we start.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
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.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
How it works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Most visits to homes in Farnborough are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
What a customer said
“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.”
