Different systems, different jobs
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’ll tell you if yours does.
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
Air conditioning in Shillingford, done properly
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Looking for air con installers near Shillingford? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
For a home in or near Shillingford, 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Air conditioning in Shillingford: the local picture
At about 46 miles from central London, Shillingford sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East. Shillingford’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Shillingford Conservation Area. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Shillingford. Historic England lists about 49 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Shillingford, including The Manor House (grade II*). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the local planning authority (normally South Oxfordshire council) where it’s needed.
With historic houses such as Brightwell Manor about 1.8 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Living close to Church of St Lawrence? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- 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)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about air conditioning in Shillingford
Do you cover Shillingford for air conditioning?
Yes. Shillingford is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Shillingford within the area you cover?
Yes. Shillingford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do I need planning permission?
Not always. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it usually comes up, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, and that is hard to put right later. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. Booking before summer means the work in Shillingford is done before the hot weather.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Somewhere like Shillingford, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
