About our air conditioning in Great Tey
Across Great Tey, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. When someone in Great Tey asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.
In a village like Great Tey, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Homes in Great Tey and air conditioning
About 33% of homes in and around Great Tey have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes normally have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. 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.
Around Church of St Barnabas, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

FAQs for Great Tey
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Great Tey?
It depends on the property. Central Great Tey is a short walk from the Great Tey 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Colchester council, which is usually the planning authority for Great Tey.
Can you do air conditioning in Great Tey?
We do: Great Tey falls inside our working area. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
