- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
How we price air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What electrical work the job needs
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring 07833 053749.
How we handle air conditioning in Old Shoreham
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Need an air conditioning installer for Old Shoreham? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
In a village like Old Shoreham, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How the job changes from property to property
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. We’re NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves, which takes care of the Part P notification.
Wall-mounted split systems
A single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork included. Where you sit in that range depends on the pipe run, access and electrics.
FAQs for Old Shoreham
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in Old Shoreham?
It can, as Old Shoreham is within about 1 mile 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.
Is Old Shoreham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Old Shoreham and across West Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Air conditioning in Old Shoreham: the local picture
Old Shoreham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Some manufacturers offer anti-corrosion coated coils for coastal sites, and we will tell you if the model you choose has that option. Old Shoreham’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Old Shoreham Conservation Area. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Old Shoreham. About 14 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Old Shoreham, Church of St Nicolas (grade I) among them. None of this rules air conditioning out. It just means the planning position is checked before anyone suggests a spot for the outdoor unit.
Plenty of people near Shoreham-By-Sea station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Homes near St Nicolas' Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Old Shoreham.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Safe owner checks
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
