Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Filching
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. For air conditioning in Filching, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork, wherever you are in East Sussex.
Around Filching, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. 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 a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Somewhere like Filching, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Air conditioning in Filching: local notes
About 3 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Filching, Filching Manor (grade II) among them. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Wealden council, which usually handles Filching where needed. About 57% of homes in Filching and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 85% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Alfriston Clergy House, about 2.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Older streets near The Parish Church of Saint Peter may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Filching questions
Do you cover Filching for air conditioning?
We do: Filching falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Filching within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Leave it or put it right?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, and that is hard to put right later. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. For a village like Filching, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
