Common problems we fix in Dungate
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
Belmont House and Gardens, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Air conditioning installation in Dungate
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. When someone in Dungate asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Most single-room installs in Dungate are done in a day, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer.
For a home in or near Dungate, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Rented and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Owner checks or an engineer?
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. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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.
How it works
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. All told, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. If a lane or gateway near Dungate is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Dungate: your questions answered
Is Dungate in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Dungate is part of that. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Can I fit air conditioning in Dungate without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Dungate. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Swale council, which is usually the planning authority for Dungate.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Normally, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is typically fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.

What a customer said
“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.”
