Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Lenham Heath
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. People searching for “air con near me” in Lenham Heath want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
For a home in or near Lenham Heath, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

When to call us in Lenham Heath
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. That’s how most modern split systems work.
Look out for these signs:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
Leave it or put it right?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: 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 and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Lenham Heath: your questions answered
Is air conditioning in Lenham Heath permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Lenham Heath. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Lenham Heath, usually Ashford council).
Can you do air conditioning in Lenham Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lenham Heath is part of that. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in 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.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Lenham Heath can be planned properly.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

From one of our customers
“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.”
