Air con installers in Gubbion's Green
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
Homes around Gubbion's Green usually have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: 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.

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling

What an install looks like in Gubbion's Green
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
A system that heats as well as cools can also take the chill off a garden room or extension in winter.

Common problems we fix in Gubbion's Green
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind.
Questions to ask before booking
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- If the quote is based on a survey, pictures or a diagnosis
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Somewhere like Gubbion's Green, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Gubbion's Green questions
Can I fit air conditioning in Gubbion's Green without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 14 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Gubbion's Green. 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 Gubbion's Green, normally Chelmsford council) when it matters.
Will you come out to Gubbion's Green?
Yes. Gubbion's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
It takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
