About our air conditioning in Yattendon
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Air conditioning installation in Yattendon starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Around Yattendon, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Yattendon: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning in Yattendon?
We do: Yattendon falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Yattendon?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How do I know what size unit to get?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
Not always. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Yattendon can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Ask for a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.
Ducted systems
With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.
Air conditioning in Yattendon: local notes
Historic England lists about 31 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Yattendon, including Church of St. Peter and St. Paul (grade I). Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (usually West Berkshire council) has the final say on what’s allowed. About 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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.
Older streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Basildon Park, about 4.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
