Air conditioning in SP9: how it works

Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll reply the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life and a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer.

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
  2. Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
  3. The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
  4. Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
  5. Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.

What affects the price in SP9

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Air conditioning across SP9: local notes

Planning rules are the same across England, SP9 included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.

Refrigerant work is done by F-gas qualified engineers for a certified company, and the electrics come under our NICEIC approval.

Tidworth: Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Different systems, different jobs

Ceiling cassettes

Cassettes are good at even airflow across a large floor area, and the slim grille sits neatly in the ceiling.

Ducted systems

Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork, and access for servicing. We check that on the survey before recommending one.

What happens if it’s left?

If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in SP9, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. Installation takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and the date is agreed with you after you’ve accepted the fixed price.

Owner checks or an engineer?

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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Common questions in SP9

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. 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’ll tell you what to do first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Where does the outdoor unit go?

We agree it with you on the survey. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.

Which accreditations do you hold?

As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

In most cases. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.

Yes. We work in SP9 and across Hampshire, within the London and South East area we cover. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
