Air con installers in Selsfield Common
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Air conditioning installation in Selsfield Common starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
In a village like Selsfield Common, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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.

Honest limits
Air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 and we will say what we think before booking.

Air conditioning in Selsfield Common: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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.
Gravetye Manor (roughly 0.8 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 Selsfield Common
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Selsfield Common?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Selsfield Common. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Selsfield Common, typically Mid Sussex council) when it matters.
Do you cover smaller places like Selsfield Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.

How it works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Selsfield Common.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
