Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few pictures of the rooms and the outside walls when you call us on 07833 053749, and you will hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. When someone in Pett Bottom 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.
Homes around Pett Bottom normally have room outside for an outdoor unit. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What the work involves, system by system
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. The route is agreed before any drilling, and keep it as short and neat as the building allows.
Ducted systems
A ducted system needs a ceiling void or loft deep enough for the unit and ducts, and access for servicing. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
What an install looks like in Pett Bottom
About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Pett Bottom and it takes in 2 conservation areas. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (typically Canterbury City council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Pett Bottom and across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

Your questions about air conditioning in Pett Bottom
Is Pett Bottom 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.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning in Pett Bottom?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Pett Bottom.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
