What air conditioning will not do
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)

In a place like Aldwick, the outdoor unit often goes on the ground at the side or rear of the house, where it’s out of sight from the road and easy to service.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Aldwick questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Aldwick?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Aldwick holds about 11 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Aldwick, normally Arun council).
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Aldwick?
It can, as Aldwick is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count and the survey covers each of them.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
We recommend an annual service, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We can remind you when it’s due, so it does not get forgotten.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Homes in Aldwick and air conditioning
The coast is only about 1 mile from Aldwick. That’s worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 43% of homes across Aldwick and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses normally have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Older streets near St Richard’s Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Aldwick.
- 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 necessary.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
