Your questions about air conditioning in Strood Green
Is air conditioning in Strood Green permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Strood Green holds about 8 listed buildings and structures. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Mole Valley council, which is normally the planning authority for Strood Green.
Is Strood Green in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Strood Green is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
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 the survey covers each of them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
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. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
In most cases, 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.

What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, depending on the property and the pipe route. It needs space around it to breathe and for an engineer to work on it.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Larger buildings may suit VRF, which runs many indoor units from shared outdoor units. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.

What else we do in Strood Green
What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
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 electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Central heating repairs
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Building damp that has a structural cause
If you’re not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Strood Green.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
