Air conditioning for homes and businesses in New Eltham
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Need an air conditioning installer for New Eltham? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
A typical install in New Eltham is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the condensate drained away safely.
Space outside is often tight in New Eltham, as in much of London, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, and we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Homes in New Eltham and air conditioning
About 59% of homes across New Eltham and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 61% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Close to New Eltham station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit. Eltham Palace (roughly 1.1 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: 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 anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we clear up before we go. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in New Eltham.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- 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.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Why deal with it now?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, and that’s hard to put right later. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Planning ahead in New Eltham means you choose the date, not the weather.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or pictures
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer

Questions from New Eltham
Is New Eltham in your area for air conditioning?
We do: New Eltham falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in New Eltham?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
In most cases, yes: modern splits are normally heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What a customer said
“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.”
