What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. 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 ring 07833 053749.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hollingbury
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. For air conditioning in Hollingbury, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.
A cottage and a newer house near Hollingbury are very different jobs. Thick walls and beams mean planning the pipe route carefully, and if the home is listed, consent comes before any work.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What else we do in Hollingbury
Your questions about air conditioning in Hollingbury
Do you cover smaller places like Hollingbury?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in Hollingbury?
It can, as Hollingbury is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. 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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
How long will the installation take?
Allow a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes need space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
Wall-mounted split systems
A wall-mounted split is the most common choice for a single room. One unit inside, one outside, connected by pipework, a cable and a drain, with the route agreed on the survey.
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Hollingbury when you book.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
What an install looks like in Hollingbury
Hollingbury lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. About 52% of homes in Hollingbury and the neighbourhoods around it were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 75% 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. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Preston Manor & Gardens, about 1.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.
