About our air conditioning in Northney
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: 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. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Hampshire.
Villages like Northney often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Northney: your questions answered
Will you come out to Northney?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Northney?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Northney is a short walk from the St Peter's, Hayling Island Conservation Area. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Northney, usually Havant council).
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
If anything is not right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk it through with you.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.

Air conditioning in Northney: the local picture
Northney lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Some manufacturers offer anti-corrosion coated coils for coastal sites, and we will tell you if the model you choose has that option. About 61% 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.
Living close to Church of St Peter? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. With historic houses such as Warblington Castle about 1.1 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. Whether you’re in the middle of Northney or further out, we cover air conditioning, from small jobs to large ones. Northney is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We also work in Worthing, around 25 miles away.
Our nearest recent job to Northney was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 8 miles east: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area. More about it
Jobs in PO11 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. From Northney Lane, Spinnaker Grange and Northney Road to the smaller roads in between, nowhere is left out. Neighbouring places we cover include North Hayling (1 mile south), Warblington (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile south-west) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north-west), Fareham (10 miles west) and Horndean (6 miles north).

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Draughts and missing insulation
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Work in Northney is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
How we price air conditioning
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The size of the job
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
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.”
