System by system
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes are good at even airflow across a large floor area, and the slim grille sits neatly in the ceiling.
Wall-mounted split systems
A wall-mounted split is the most common choice for a single room. One unit inside, one outside, connected by pipework, a cable and a drain, routed as agreed on the survey.
How we handle air conditioning in Totford
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Need an air conditioning installer for Totford? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Planning permission isn’t usually needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we flag that at the survey.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Totford. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Work in Totford is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed, so the job looks as tidy as it works.
Have the system serviced once a year. 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Totford

Totford questions
Is Totford in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Totford is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Totford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
In most cases, yes: modern splits are typically heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. 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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access and the quote says how long to expect.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Air conditioning around Totford
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St John the Evangelist (grade II*). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the planning authority here where needed. Census 2021 figures found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind. Around Church of St John the Evangelist, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
