We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Need an air conditioning installer for Oldbury? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
For a home in or near Oldbury, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air conditioning in Oldbury: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 73% 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.
Living close to Church of St Peter? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It saves wall space outside and suits homes where several rooms need cooling and each indoor unit has its own controls.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Commercial rooms often need more than one unit and controls that suit how the space is used. Sizing takes account of occupants, equipment and windows, and plan the work so the business keeps running.
When to call us in Oldbury
Many people try a portable unit first. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote about 1.9 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Why deal with it now?
For homeowners, timing can matter for VAT: HMRC zero-rates the installation of energy-saving materials in homes until 31 March 2027, after which the rate becomes 5%. Whether a particular system qualifies depends on the facts and we confirm the VAT on your quote. This is general information, not tax advice. Planning ahead for a job in Oldbury means we can bring everything needed.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Why us?
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- One number for homes and businesses across London and the South East
Questions from Oldbury
Will you come out to Oldbury?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will air conditioning in Oldbury need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Oldbury sits inside the Oldbury Conservation Area. 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 necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Oldbury, normally Tonbridge and Malling council).
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
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.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it 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 everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Visits to Oldbury are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
