About our air conditioning in Hales Place
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. When someone in Hales Place asks us for air con, the first questions are typically price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
A cottage and a newer house near Hales Place are very different jobs. Thick walls and beams mean planning the pipe route carefully, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What else we do in Hales Place
Your questions about air conditioning in Hales Place
Is Hales Place in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, Hales Place is within the area we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Is Hales Place within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Hales Place.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
What we are called out for in Hales Place
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. 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.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
If you work from home near Canterbury West station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
Questions to ask before you book
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We will remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

On the National Heritage List, around 15 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Hales Place; Church of St Stephen (grade I) is one. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Canterbury City council, typically the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed. VOA council tax data date about 43% of homes in Hales Place and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through.
Older streets near Church of St Stephen may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
