Air con installers in Faversham

Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Looking for air con installers near Faversham? We’re based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.

Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.

Most houses around Faversham have a side or back wall, or a patch of ground, where the outdoor unit can go. We keep it away from bedroom windows next door and run the pipework as neatly as we can, inside through a loft or outside in trunking.

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Why act early in Faversham

New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. Planning ahead in Faversham avoids waiting during a hot spell.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Air conditioning in Faversham: local notes

Faversham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. Census 2021 figures found about 40% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is normally the best place for the outdoor unit.

Close to Faversham station? A small study or box room used for work can usually be cooled with a single indoor unit.

Faversham questions

Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Faversham?

It can, as Faversham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.

Can I fit air conditioning in Faversham without planning permission?

It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Faversham sits inside the Faversham Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 planning department at Swale council, normally the authority for Faversham.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?

Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

How do I know what size unit to get?

Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.

Are you F-Gas certified?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

What we are called out for in Faversham

Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
  • An old system that needs replacing
  • Uncertainty over the right type and size of system

Older streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the quote is a fixed price
  • Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of an existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing in Faversham.

  1. You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
  • Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

How to get a quote

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Rented and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
