Air con installers in Selsey
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. When someone in Selsey asks us for air con, the first questions are normally price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so there’s no separate electrician or building control visit to arrange.
In a town like Selsey, most of the homes we’re asked about are houses, with some flats near the centre. People normally start with the room that gets hottest: a bedroom, a home office or a conservatory, and a multi-split can add more rooms later.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Selsey
Can I fit air conditioning in Selsey without planning permission?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Selsey Conservation Area, close to central Selsey. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Chichester council, which is usually the planning authority for Selsey.
Do you cover Selsey for air conditioning?
We do: Selsey falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Access to the outdoor unit position is the main thing to tell us about in Selsey.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Related advice
Pricing air conditioning in Selsey
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Air conditioning around Selsey
The coast is only about 1 mile from Selsey. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that won’t rust. The last census (2021) found about 74% 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.
Bedrooms under the roof and rooms with big sunny windows are normally the first to overheat, so they’re the usual place to start. Homes near St Peter's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Building damp that has a structural cause
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
