What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to East Horndon.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

About our air conditioning in East Horndon
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in East Horndon it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like East Horndon. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Your questions about air conditioning in East Horndon
Do you cover smaller places like East Horndon?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning in East Horndon?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and East Horndon is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is usually fitted in a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer and the quote says how long to expect.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Most of the time, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
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.
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
How we price air conditioning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

Air conditioning in East Horndon: the local picture
The Thorndon Park Conservation Area lies close to the centre of East Horndon, within about a third of a mile. In the mile around East Horndon’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Church of All Saints, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 3 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around East Horndon’s centre. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, Brentwood council, typically the planning authority here has the final say on what’s allowed. About 43% of homes in and around East Horndon date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. 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.
Living close to All Saints Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

What the work involves, system by system
Electrical supply
We check the consumer unit on the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work and we’ll tell you if yours does.
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. The route is agreed before any drilling, and keep it as short and neat as the building allows.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
