Homes in Oare and air conditioning
Oare lies within about 2 miles 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.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Peter, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens about 4.3 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever you are in the ME13 postcode area, we cover air conditioning. Count every place we list in Kent and you reach 922, with Oare on the list. You can also see our page for Bromley, roughly 38 miles from Oare.
The Street, Church Road and Russell Place and the roads off them are all inside our area. Work in ME13 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. We also cover Davington (1 mile south), The Brents (1 mile south-east), Uplees (1 mile north-west), Faversham (1 mile south) and Four Oaks (1 mile south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west) and Whitstable (7 miles east).
Around Oare
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Oare Meadow, Three Mariners Inn and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and the streets around them. The closest station to Oare is Faversham station, roughly 1.4 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Newnham Castle (4.5 miles south-west).
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Oare.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Related advice
Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
Ceiling cassettes fit into the ceiling and push air out in several directions, which suits offices, shops and open-plan spaces.
Electrical supply
We check the consumer unit on the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit, and we explain why if so.
Other services in Oare
After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
We clear up before we go: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
FAQs for Oare
Will you come out to Oare?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Oare permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Oare holds about 28 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 planning department at Swale council, normally the authority for Oare.
Which type of system should I choose?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What affects the quote in Oare
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How easy the units are to reach
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
