Air conditioning across TN18: what to expect
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we’ll reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. Typical jobs include a room that’s unbearable on warm days and a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer, on air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- 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.

Air conditioning across TN18: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, TN18 included: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
We reply to enquiries from TN18 the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7.
Hawkhurst: Homes near Church of All Saints are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. About 5 miles south-east stands Great Dixter. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the job
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What electrical work the job needs
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
What happens if it’s left?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, and that is hard to put right later. A survey now gives time to choose properly.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Book an annual service
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we will help you sort it out.
Report drips, noises or error codes early. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.
FAQs for TN18
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer and the quote says how long to expect.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
