Air conditioning in Surbiton, done properly
Across Surbiton, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before we start and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. Every installation in Surbiton begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
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.
Top-floor flats and rooms with big south- or west-facing windows tend to be the first to overheat in London. A single wall-mounted unit in the worst room is often where people start, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
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.
Surbiton questions
Can you do air conditioning in Surbiton?
We do: Surbiton falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Surbiton?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
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 a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

What air conditioning will not do

- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Surbiton in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

What we are called out for in Surbiton
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
Close to Surbiton station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
