Air conditioning installation in Kennington
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you phone 07833 053749 or send an email, and you’ll hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. For air conditioning in Kennington, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
In a smaller place like Kennington, most installs are in houses and cottages, often with gardens, which normally leaves room for an outdoor unit. The bigger questions are the wall construction and the route back to the consumer unit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.

Kennington: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning in Kennington?
We do: Kennington falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Kennington?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Kennington holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Vale of White Horse council, which is typically the planning authority for Kennington.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
How do you size the system?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Everything the job in Kennington needs is worked out beforehand.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

When to call us in Kennington
Computers, screens, lighting and people all give off heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even on a mild day.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
Homes near St Swithun's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Before you book anyone
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The handover includes the records you need: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Do not ignore small changes. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display usually means something needs attention, and early repairs are typically simpler.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
