Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. 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: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or email us.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Long Green
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Need an air conditioning installer for Long Green? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Planning permission isn’t normally needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
For a home in or near Long Green, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Long Green so we arrive with what’s needed.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Air conditioning around Long Green
On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Long Green; Fowler's Farmhouse (grade II) is one. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (normally Braintree council) has the final say on what’s allowed. The 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
Older streets near St Barnabas may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. If you work from home near Braintree Freeport station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Why act early in Long Green
Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

FAQs for Long Green
Do you cover Long Green for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Long Green is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Long Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You’ll usually 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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. The unit goes where it spreads the air well and the filters are easy to reach, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
Multi-split systems
A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The route from the outdoor unit to each room is the main variable.
