What an install looks like in Great Baddow
The centre of Great Baddow lies within the Great Baddow Conservation Area. In the mile around Great Baddow’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 44 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Great Baddow; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with Chelmsford council, usually the planning authority here where necessary. About 45% of homes across Great Baddow and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. 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.
About 2.3 miles east stands Danbury Place. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
What we are most often called about:
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
- A business premises that overheats in summer
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Leave it or put it right?
There’s a tax point for homes: HMRC zero-rates the installation of energy-saving materials in homes until 31 March 2027, after which the rate becomes 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts, so we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.

Great Baddow questions
Do you cover smaller places like Great Baddow?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Great Baddow in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, Great Baddow is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Which type of system should I choose?
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, which we check on the survey.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos 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. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Great Baddow.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
