Our air conditioning service in RG8
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with photos of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are an office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers and rooms heated by plug-in heaters.
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How we quote
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning across RG8: local notes
In RG8, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
Enquiries from RG8 get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.
Purley on Thames: Mapledurham House, about 0.6 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. Homes near Church of St Mary are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Rented and managed buildings
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings, so you are confident using it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, which costs you more to run.
How we price air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- How easy the units are to reach
- The condition of any existing system
- How many units are involved
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Your installation or service records
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
RG8 questions
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on 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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
