Air con installers in Magham Down
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. 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 before you get a fixed-price quote. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
In a village like Magham Down, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

The process
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Magham Down so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Air conditioning in Magham Down: the local picture
About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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.
With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor about 1.7 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.

Before you call an engineer
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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 phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Have the system serviced once a year
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings, so you’re confident using it.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Common questions in Magham Down
Can you do air conditioning in Magham Down?
Yes. Magham Down is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Magham Down?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Magham Down. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Magham Down, typically Wealden council).
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Usually, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Let and managed properties
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
From one of our customers
“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.”
