Questions from Goring-by-Sea
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Goring-by-Sea?
It can, as Goring-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is Goring-by-Sea within the area you cover?
Yes. Goring-by-Sea is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I get a grant for an air-to-air heat pump?
Only in limited cases, with a grant of £2,500. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, meet the full heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer, and be in a home.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Air source heat pumps for homes and businesses in Goring-by-Sea
Air-to-water heat pumps heat your hot water through a cylinder. If you have a combi boiler and no cylinder, the survey looks at where one could go. Air-to-air systems don’t heat hot water, so you’ll need another way to do that. Typical jobs include deciding on the outdoor unit position and questions about listed buildings or conservation areas, on homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and hot water cylinders.
Older homes around Goring-by-Sea can be draughty or have solid walls, so a proper heat loss calculation matters. Sometimes insulating first makes more sense.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes from a couple of days to around a week, depending on the system and how much of the heating changes. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Goring-by-Sea.
- First we talk through the property and the current system.
- A heat loss survey is carried out, room by room.
- We design the system, check the radiators and cylinder and look at the outdoor unit position.
- Cost, grant and VAT appear on one fixed-price quote.
- Then it’s fitted, commissioned and registered with MCS.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Air source heat pumps in Goring-by-Sea: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Goring-by-Sea. Near the coast, we choose the outdoor unit position with salt-laden wind in mind. The middle of Goring-by-Sea is part of the Goring Conservation Area. In the mile around Goring-by-Sea’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 12 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Goring-by-Sea; Church of St Mary (grade II*) is one. So the heat pump survey asks two extra questions here: is the home listed, and is it inside a conservation area? About 64% of homes in Goring-by-Sea and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. For homes of that age, the survey checks the insulation, the radiators and the hot water setup. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
If your home is one of the older properties near St Mary's Church, the survey checks whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before the outdoor unit position is chosen. If your home is near Goring-By-Sea station and heated by a gas boiler, an air-to-water heat pump can replace it where the survey shows it suits.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
What happens if it’s left?
For eligible off-gas homes on oil or LPG, an extra £1,500 is on offer until March 2027. If that applies to you, it’s worth asking about sooner rather than later. For a place like Goring-by-Sea, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Rented and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
