How we handle air conditioning in West Wellow
Single-room systems are 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, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. Most split systems we fit in West Wellow are reversible: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so there’s no separate electrician or building control visit to arrange.
Villages like West Wellow often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for West Wellow
Is West Wellow within the area you cover?
Yes. West Wellow is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is West Wellow in your area for air conditioning?
We do: West Wellow falls inside our working area. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Typically, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
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 we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
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 you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
The process
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. For a village like West Wellow, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

How we price air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Air conditioning in West Wellow: the local picture
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 17 within half a mile of the centre, such as Feltham's Cottages (grade II). Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Test Valley council, normally the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed. About 45% of homes in the West Wellow area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Landford Manor (roughly 2 miles west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Margaret, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

What air conditioning won’t do
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- 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)
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
If you are not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

From one of our customers
“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.”
