The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Visits to a place like Tenterden are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Air conditioning installation in Tenterden
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be and we talk you through it on the survey. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.
In a place like Tenterden, the outdoor unit often goes on the ground at the side or rear of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

After we’ve gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings, so you are confident using it.
Use sensible settings. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.

What else we do in Tenterden
Let and managed properties
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

What air conditioning won’t do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

Common questions in Tenterden
Is air conditioning in Tenterden permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Tenterden sits inside a conservation area. 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 Ashford council, which is usually the planning authority for Tenterden when it matters.
Do you cover Tenterden for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Tenterden is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Tenterden and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
