How we handle air conditioning in Horley
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. Every installation in Horley begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Getting the size right matters more than the brand: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
Around Horley, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horley
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Horley: your questions answered
Is air conditioning in Horley permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Horley sits inside the Horley Conservation Area. 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 Cherwell council, which is usually the planning authority for Horley when it matters.
Will you come out to Horley?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How long will the installation take?
It takes 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Air conditioning in Horley: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 37% of homes in Horley and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. 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.

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. For a village like Horley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Horley
Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. That is how most modern split systems work.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Expensive direct electric heating
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
Upton House, about 3.2 miles 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.

What else we do in Horley
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Draughts and missing insulation

From one of our customers
“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.”
