- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
What happens if it’s left?
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Air con installers in Penenden Heath
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, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. When someone in Penenden Heath asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
Outdoor units around Penenden Heath often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes need space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate, with a condensate pump where the drain cannot fall naturally. The survey confirms the void and the drain route.
What air conditioning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically 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. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Penenden Heath.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- 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.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

FAQs for Penenden Heath
Do you cover Penenden Heath for air conditioning?
Yes. Penenden Heath is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Can I fit air conditioning in Penenden Heath without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Penenden Heath. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Maidstone council, typically the authority for Penenden Heath.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
How long will the installation take?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
