How the visit works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Rickling Green.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit

In a village like Rickling Green, 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, 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.

Air conditioning around Rickling Green
Rickling Green’s centre falls inside the Quendon and Rickling Conservation Area. Quendon Court, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 31 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Rickling Green’s centre. Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely. Census 2021 figures found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Horham Hall (roughly 4.8 miles east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

Questions from Rickling Green
Do you cover smaller places like Rickling Green?
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.
Is Rickling Green in your area for air conditioning?
We do: Rickling Green falls inside our working area. Just call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I need planning permission?
That depends on what’s being fitted and where. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flats have extra limits. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.

Do you need air conditioning in Rickling Green?
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. Heat comes in through the roof and rises from the rest of the building, which is why a loft bedroom can still be warm at bedtime.
The things we are asked about most include:
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
Around Church of Quendon, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
Leave it or put it right?
New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. Since 2025, new single split systems with less than 3 kg of refrigerant cannot use F gases with a GWP above 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
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 you will get one fixed price.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
You get the paperwork that matters: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, which costs you more to run.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
