How we handle air conditioning in Heart's Delight
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. For air conditioning in Heart's Delight, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Kent.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so there’s no separate electrician or building control visit to arrange.
For a home in or near Heart's Delight, 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 warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

Questions from Heart's Delight
Do you cover Heart's Delight for air conditioning?
We do: Heart's Delight falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Heart's Delight?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Derringstone Conservation Area, close to central Heart's Delight. 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 local planning authority (for Heart's Delight, typically Canterbury City council).
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Typically, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You’ll normally need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Air conditioning in Heart's Delight: local notes
Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
Acrise Place (roughly 4.4 miles south) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. Living close to Church of St John the Baptist? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

What affects the cost of air conditioning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The condition of any existing system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier, and we will explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
To get a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
What air conditioning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Central heating repairs
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. For a place like Heart's Delight, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

“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.”
