Old Romney: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning in Old Romney?
Yes. Old Romney is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Old Romney?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Old Romney Conservation Area is close to the centre of Old Romney. 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 the planning department at Folkestone and Hythe council, normally the authority for Old Romney when it matters.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access and the quote says how long to expect.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How we handle air conditioning in Old Romney
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Air conditioning installation in Old Romney starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Most single-room installs in Old Romney are done in a day, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
Around Old Romney, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What air conditioning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
If you are not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes

Air conditioning around Old Romney
About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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.
Around Church of St Clement, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are typically the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.

Leave it or put it right?
Fans and portables move warm air around rather than removing it. A fixed system removes the heat to the outside, runs more quietly in the room and can normally heat as well, so it works for you in winter as well. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
