Our air conditioning service in PO12

The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain before you get a fixed-price quote. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer and an old system that needs replacing.

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Where we install in PO12

Across PO12, from Gosport, Forton and Portsea to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.

PO12 is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Every job starts with a site survey or pictures, then a fixed-price quote. PO12 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of outdoor coils and fixings. Outdoor unit position and regular servicing both help near the sea.

Gosport: If your home is in one of the older streets near St Faith's Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.

Different systems, different jobs

Multi-split systems

You can mix indoor unit types on many multi-split systems, choosing what suits each room, depending on the model. We plan the mix on the survey.

Ceiling cassettes

A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.

Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
  • Never run the system with the filters out
  • Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
  • Avoid setting it far colder than you need

If anything is not right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we will help you sort it out.

Book an annual service. A service cleans what you can’t reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in PO12

The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether the existing supply is suitable
  • The condition of any existing system
  • The number of rooms, units or zones
  • How easy the units are to reach

Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Asking for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:

  • A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
  • Any error code or flashing light on the display
  • The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
  • The paperwork from the last service, if you have it

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Why deal with it now?

Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and in most cases heats too, so it works for you in winter as well.

Comparing quotes

  • Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
  • Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it

Common questions in PO12

What size air conditioning unit do I need?

Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.

Does servicing affect my warranty?

Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Do you cover PO12?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of the South East, PO12 included.

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

Usually, 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.

Which type of system should I choose?

It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.

What accreditations do you have?

AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.

How long does air conditioning installation take?

It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
