Strettington air conditioning
Our engineers work in Strettington on air conditioning. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
About our air conditioning in Strettington
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. For air conditioning in Strettington, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Strettington. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What air conditioning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Work in Strettington is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning around Strettington
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
About 0.9 miles north-west stands Goodwood House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near St Andrew's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Strettington is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. From the centre of Strettington to the outskirts, we cover air conditioning, from small jobs to large ones. Count every place we list in West Sussex and you reach 371, with Strettington on the list. Worthing is in our area too, about 15 miles from Strettington.
Not far from Strettington, a recent job of ours was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 2 miles south-west: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area. Read more
Jobs in PO18 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We also cover the places around Strettington: Westerton (1 mile west), Waterbeach (1 mile north), Maudlin (1 mile south-west), Boxgrove (1 mile east) and Tangmere (1 mile south-east).

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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Keep the room closed while it runs
The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed, so the job looks as tidy as it works.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
Your questions about air conditioning in Strettington
Can I fit air conditioning in Strettington without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Strettington holds about 16 listed buildings and structures. 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 necessary, we check with the planning department at Chichester council, normally the authority for Strettington.
Can you do air conditioning in Strettington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Strettington is part of that. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most of the time. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
