Our air conditioning service in Brighton and Hove
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just call 07833 053749 with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and you will hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are a room that’s unbearable on warm days and an old system that needs replacing.
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 a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Pricing in Brighton and Hove
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Air conditioning around Brighton and Hove
Planning rules are the same across England, Brighton and Hove included: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
Brighton and Hove is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. One phone number covers all of it. Parts of Brighton and Hove are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on outdoor units. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.
Brighton: Living close to St Martin's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Royal Pavilion (roughly 0.8 miles south-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
Why it fails
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
What we’re most often called about:
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The condition of any existing system
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Why act early?
Size matters more than brand. An undersized unit runs hard and still cannot keep the room cool; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
Looking after your system
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We can remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t 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.
FAQs for Brighton and Hove
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is Brighton and Hove in your area?
Yes. Our engineers work in Brighton and Hove, within the South East and London area we cover. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
Sometimes. The rules differ for heat pumps and cooling-only air conditioning, and for houses, flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey, and the council has the final say. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
