How we handle air conditioning in Broadstone
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, which is why many owners use theirs all year.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: the survey covers room size, glazing, insulation and how the room is used, so the unit isn’t too big or too small.
For a home in or near Broadstone, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Homes in Broadstone and air conditioning
Yew Tree Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Broadstone’s centre. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (normally Maidstone council) has the final say on what’s allowed. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 32% of homes in and around Broadstone were built in 2000 or later, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes normally have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We plan the trip to Broadstone around you.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Your questions about air conditioning in Broadstone
Do you cover Broadstone for air conditioning?
Yes, Broadstone is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Do you cover smaller places like Broadstone?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Are you F-Gas certified?
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.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broadstone
A system that’s the wrong size never works well. An undersized unit runs hard and still can’t keep the room cool; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.

When to call us in Broadstone
Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is usually what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
Customers normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- Expensive direct electric heating
Leeds Castle (roughly 3.7 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
