- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Five Oak Green easier.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What an install looks like in Five Oak Green
About 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Five Oak Green Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

Leave it or put it right?
Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What affects the cost of air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What electrical work the job needs
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Five Oak Green questions
Is air conditioning in Five Oak Green permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Five Oak Green sits inside a conservation area. 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 local planning authority (for Five Oak Green, usually Tunbridge Wells council) when it matters.
Can you do air conditioning in Five Oak Green?
Yes, Five Oak Green is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Normally, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
In most cases, 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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
A customer’s words
