Air Conditioning in Long Crendon
Need air conditioning in Long Crendon? We look at the job first, give you a fixed-price quote and do the work at a time that suits you, finishing with proper records.
- An old system that needs replacing
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you are confident using it.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Air conditioning installation in Long Crendon
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across Buckinghamshire.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Outdoor units around Long Crendon often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning in Long Crendon
Is air conditioning in Long Crendon permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Long Crendon Conservation Area, close to central Long Crendon. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, usually the authority for Long Crendon when it matters.
Do you cover Long Crendon for air conditioning?
We do: Long Crendon falls inside our working area. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Air conditioning in Long Crendon: local notes
About 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Why it’s worth doing now in Long Crendon
A system that’s the wrong size never works well. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both. For a place like Long Crendon, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Long Crendon and across Buckinghamshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Long Crendon.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
