About our air conditioning in Garlinge Green
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we will reply the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Most enquiries from Garlinge Green start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. That’s typically a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
A single room takes a day in most homes, with multi-room systems taking longer depending on pipe routes.
For a home in or near Garlinge Green, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

System by system
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it, with each room controlled separately.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
Homes in Garlinge Green and air conditioning
About 71% 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.
Many split systems run in heating mode too, which makes them useful outside summer. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

How we price air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The address and the type of property
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Want a quote for air conditioning? Please ring 07833 053749 or send an email and tell us about the job. We’ll talk you through the options and give you a fixed-price quote before you commit to anything.

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Garlinge Green.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Questions from Garlinge Green
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Garlinge Green?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Garlinge Green is in the Garlinge Green, Kenfield and Swarling Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Garlinge Green, usually Canterbury City council).
Do you cover smaller places like Garlinge Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
In most cases, yes: modern splits are typically heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. Some cooling-only models exist, so we confirm it for the model on your quote.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most of the time. 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.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
What a customer said
“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.”
