About our air conditioning in Goring-by-Sea
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. A lot of the calls we get from Goring-by-Sea are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Homes around Goring-by-Sea are mostly houses, many with gardens, so there’s normally space for the outdoor unit. The bigger questions are the wall construction and the route back to the consumer unit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What the work involves, system by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, such as a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.
What an install looks like in Goring-by-Sea
Goring-by-Sea lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so we site them out of the worst of the sea wind where we can, and can suggest models with corrosion-protected coils where the manufacturer offers them. About 64% of homes in Goring-by-Sea and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. 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.
About 2.3 miles north-west stands Ecclesden Manor. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near St Mary's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Goring-by-Sea can be done in one go where possible.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring 07833 053749.

After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
We clear up before we go: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Outside, the pipework is neatly fixed and protected as agreed on the survey.
Don’t ignore small changes. Water from the indoor unit, a new rattle or a code on the display typically means something needs attention and catching it early keeps the repair small.
Owner checks or an engineer?
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for 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 give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Questions from Goring-by-Sea
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Goring-by-Sea?
It can. Goring-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Will air conditioning in Goring-by-Sea need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Goring Conservation Area takes in the middle of Goring-by-Sea. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Worthing council, usually the authority for Goring-by-Sea.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
How do you size the system?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
