Air conditioning installation in East Worthing

Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Have the system serviced once a year
The handover includes the records you need: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. Keep them with the manual as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

Air conditioning around East Worthing
East Worthing is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. About 42% of homes in and around East Worthing were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through.
Older streets near St George's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. If you work from home near East Worthing station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Let and managed properties
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like East Worthing.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Your questions about air conditioning in East Worthing
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in East Worthing?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 7 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of East Worthing. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Worthing council, typically the authority for East Worthing when it matters.
Is East Worthing within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
There’s no single best type. 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. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
