How we handle air conditioning in Stoke Charity
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. For air conditioning in Stoke Charity, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Hampshire.
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 Stoke Charity, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we tidy up before we leave. We plan the trip to Stoke Charity around you.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Related advice
Signs you need air conditioning in Stoke Charity
Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, which means more heat out than electricity in. That’s how most modern split systems work.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it

FAQs for Stoke Charity
Is Stoke Charity in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Stoke Charity is one of the places we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Will air conditioning in Stoke Charity need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Stoke Charity Conservation Area takes in the middle of Stoke Charity. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Winchester City council, usually the authority for Stoke Charity.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re 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.
How long will the installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. 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 owners can safely do
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

After we have gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
The handover includes the records you need: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
What an install looks like in Stoke Charity
The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Michael, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
