Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
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.

Common questions in Letcombe Bassett
Will you come out to Letcombe Bassett?
Yes. Letcombe Bassett is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning in Letcombe Bassett?
Yes. Letcombe Bassett is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Letcombe Bassett.
- 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.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

Related advice
After we have gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
- Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you are confident using it.
Set it and leave it. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
What the work involves, system by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Bedrooms, offices and living spaces are where wall-mounted units are most often fitted. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach rather than blowing straight at the bed or desk.
Ducted systems
With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It’s popular where people do not want a unit on the wall.
What an install looks like in Letcombe Bassett
About 31% of homes across Letcombe Bassett and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. Letcombe Bassett’s centre falls inside the Letcombe Bassett Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Letcombe Bassett. Historic England lists about 22 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Letcombe Bassett, including Church of St Michael (grade II*). Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Michael, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
