Air con installers in Ham
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run, all before the price is fixed. Air conditioning installation in Ham starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Ham. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Ham questions
Is Ham within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning in Ham?
We do: Ham falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What the work involves, system by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Offices and shops usually need several units and sensible central controls. We size for the people, equipment and glazing in the space and we plan the installation around your opening hours where we can.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
What an install looks like in Ham
The middle of Ham is part of a conservation area. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Ham, including Ham Manor (grade II). Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Dover council, usually the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed. The 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
Walmer Castle (roughly 4.4 miles south-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

When to call us in Ham
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window can’t close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St George, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
