Air conditioning in Comp
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Air conditioning installation in Comp starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Villages like Comp often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Homes in Comp and air conditioning
The 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
About 1.7 miles south-west stands Old Soar Manor. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Other services in Comp
Do you need air conditioning in Comp?
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even when it isn’t especially hot outside.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
What your quote should include
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Why deal with it now?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can usually heat as well, so it earns its keep all year. For a village like Comp, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Listed on Checkatrade
- MCS certification for heat pump work
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote

Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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.
Questions from Comp
Will you come out to Comp?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will air conditioning in Comp need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Comp. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Comp, typically Tonbridge and Malling council).
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Comp.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

From one of our customers
“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.”
