Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Wickham
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, 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.
Outdoor units around Wickham often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File the paperwork with the manual
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We’ll remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
What air conditioning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Central heating repairs
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Wickham
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How many units are involved
- What electrical work the job needs
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or send an email and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Wickham when you book.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Wickham questions
Will you come out to Wickham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit air conditioning in Wickham without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Wickham is in the Wickham Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Wickham, typically Winchester City council).
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What an install looks like in Wickham
About 53% of homes in and around Wickham have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
Homes near Church of St Nicholas are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.
