Air conditioning for homes and businesses in West Horsley
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain before you get a fixed-price quote. For air conditioning in West Horsley, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Surrey.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
A cottage and a newer house near West Horsley are very different jobs. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and if the home is listed, consent comes before any work.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

FAQs for West Horsley
Is West Horsley within the area you cover?
Yes. West Horsley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning in West Horsley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and West Horsley is part of that. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
It depends on the system and the property. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools isn’t covered and needs checking with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long will the installation take?
It takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Have the system serviced once a year
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We can remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, which costs you more to run.
What an install looks like in West Horsley
About 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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. About 9 listed entries lie within half a mile of central West Horsley, Manor Farm House (grade II) among them. If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the planning team at Guildford council, which normally handles West Horsley where it’s needed.
About 1.6 miles south-west stands Hatchlands Park. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near Church of St Mary the Virgin are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

How the job changes from property to property
Pipework and condensate drains
Between the units run the refrigerant pipes, the control cable and the condensate drain. We agree the route with you before we drill and kept as tidy as the building allows.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. Commercial and VRF systems are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly.
