- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we tidy up before we leave. Somewhere like Speldhurst, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
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.

Common questions in Speldhurst
Can I fit air conditioning in Speldhurst without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. A conservation area takes in the middle of Speldhurst. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Speldhurst, typically Tunbridge Wells council) when it matters.
Do you cover Speldhurst for air conditioning?
Yes, Speldhurst is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Typically, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Speldhurst and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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’ll work out which band applies to yours.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

What happens if it’s left?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Air conditioning in Speldhurst: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 80% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
With historic houses such as Penshurst Place about 2.1 miles north-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Older streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
