When to call us in Loxwood
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.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
Living close to St John the Baptist? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What’s in the price and what is not

Pricing air conditioning in Loxwood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Questions from Loxwood
Can you do air conditioning in Loxwood?
Yes. Loxwood is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Loxwood need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 19 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Loxwood. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Chichester council, typically the authority for Loxwood.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
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 are members of Checkatrade too.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What we do, step by step
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. It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and we tidy up before we leave. We plan the trip to Loxwood around you.
- 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.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning around Loxwood
Census 2021 figures found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.

What happens if it’s left?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and most of the time heats too, so it earns its keep all year. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
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.

“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.”
