Air conditioning installation in West Green, West Sussex

Different systems, different jobs
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, which keeps moisture and air out of the circuit. It’s recorded in the commissioning details.
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate and that covers the Part P side.
Air con installers in West Green
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. When someone in West Green asks us for air con, the first questions are typically price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Planning permission is not usually needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we flag that at the survey.
Around West Green, older cottages and newer houses can be very different to work on. Thick walls and beams mean planning the pipe route carefully, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Draughts and missing insulation
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

West Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is West Green in your area for air conditioning?
Yes, West Green is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Normally, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to West Green.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Homes in West Green and air conditioning
About 62% of homes across West Green and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit usually goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short. 7 conservation areas lie within a mile of central West Green. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as The George Hotel (grade II*). Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (typically Crawley council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. Close to Crawley station? A small study or box room used for work can usually be cooled with a single indoor unit.
