How air conditioning works in Kent

Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and you will hear back from us the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Typical jobs include rooms heated by plug-in heaters and a loft conversion that’s too warm to use, across ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps.

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.

First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.

What you’ll pay

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Around Maidstone

Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church. Other local landmarks include River Len LNR (under half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (under half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). Maidstone’s nearest station is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west. A little further out are Maidstone Carriage Museum (under half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). The countryside around Maidstone includes Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Air conditioning around Kent

In Kent, we install in places such as Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury and well beyond. We cover every place we list for Kent, 922 in all.

London and the South East cover everything from city flats to rural cottages. Our work is F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved for the electrics and MCS certified for heat pumps. Near the coast in Kent, outdoor units last longer with shelter from sea wind and a yearly service, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Maidstone: Homes near St Philip's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Stoneacre, about 2.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Owner checks or an engineer?

Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Let and managed properties

Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Why deal with it now?

If you are thinking about air conditioning for a property in Kent, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. The installation takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we agree a date that suits you once you are happy with the quote.

What the work involves, system by system

Electrical supply

The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work, and we explain why if so.

Ducted systems

With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It’s popular where people do not want a unit on the wall.

Common questions in Kent

Will you make a mess?

We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

What accreditations do you have?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.

How quickly will you reply?

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.

Which type of air conditioning is best?

The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
