About our air conditioning in Palmarsh
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. If you want air conditioning in Palmarsh, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Around Palmarsh, older cottages and newer houses can be very different to work on. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Your questions about air conditioning in Palmarsh
Can you do air conditioning in Palmarsh?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Palmarsh is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Palmarsh?
It can. Palmarsh is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. 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.
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.
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.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
Air conditioning around Palmarsh
At about 1 mile from the coast, Palmarsh is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on outdoor units, so we site them out of the worst of the sea wind where we can, and can suggest models with corrosion-protected coils where the manufacturer offers them. About 40% of homes in Palmarsh and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 88% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses normally have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Homes near Holy Cross are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Westenhanger Castle, about 2.3 miles north, 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 happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We plan the visit to Palmarsh from the survey or your pictures.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, which is costly to undo. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. An early booking makes the visit to Palmarsh easier to arrange.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we will help you sort it out.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you can’t reach and picks up faults before they stop the system and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.
