Our air conditioning service in ME20
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Common call-outs are for too many options and no clear advice and working from home in a room that gets too warm, on VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

Air conditioning across ME20: local notes
In ME20, we install in places such as Allington, Ditton and Aylesford and well beyond. Every place on our ME20 list (12 in all) is covered.
Across London and the South East, we reply to enquiries the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Ditton: With historic houses such as Starkey Castle about 4.8 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around St Peter's Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
What affects the quote in ME20
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What state the existing equipment is in
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
For air conditioning in ME20, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the type of property and what you need, and send a few photos if you can. Enquiries get a reply the same working day.
Why deal with it now?
If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in ME20, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. Installation takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and the date is agreed with you after you’ve accepted the fixed price.
Comparing quotes
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- If the figure could change on the day
Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
You get the paperwork that matters: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Questions from ME20
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. 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.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Typically, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most of the time. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
