Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey.

For a home in or near Point Clear, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Common questions in Point Clear
Will you come out to Point Clear?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Point Clear?
It can, as Point Clear 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.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
How do I know what size unit to get?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.
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.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.

How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Somewhere like Point Clear, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- 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
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
Air conditioning around Point Clear
At about 1 mile from the coast, Point Clear is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start.
Point Clear is about 5 miles west of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. Across the CO16 area, our engineers can take on air conditioning. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Bromley page covers places nearby (52 miles or so).

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Point Clear and across Essex. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
After we’ve gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Book an annual service
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We’ll remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Common problems we fix in Point Clear
Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. Heat comes in through the roof and rises from the rest of the building, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- A system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
Homes near Church of St James are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
