How air conditioning works in West Sussex

A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. 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. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life.

You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you.

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.
Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

How we quote

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.

How to get a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Near you in Crawley

Around Crawley, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. You will also find The George Hotel (less than half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Crawley itself: Crawley station. Nearby you’ll also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (within half a mile north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tilgate Lake.

Where we install in West Sussex

Our air conditioning work across West Sussex takes in places such as Crawley, Horsham and Worthing and the smaller places around them. We cover every place we list for West Sussex, 371 in all.

West Sussex is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed-price quote. Near the coast in West Sussex, outdoor units last longer with shelter from sea wind and a yearly service, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Crawley: Close to Crawley station? A small study or box room used for work can typically be cooled with a single indoor unit. Older streets near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Why deal with it now?

The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, which is costly to undo. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem

Let and managed properties

Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.

After we have gone

After the visit, a few habits help:

Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
Keep the room closed while it runs

The filters are the one part you’ll look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, following the manual, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.

Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.

West Sussex questions

What accreditations do you have?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Do I need a new electrical circuit?

Normally, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.

How do I know what size unit to get?

Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.

Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?

In many cases, but permissions come first. 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, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

How soon will you get back to me?

We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

What warranty do I get?

The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
