Air conditioning in BN15: how it works

Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about rooms heated by plug-in heaters and a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
  2. We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
  3. On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
  4. We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
  5. Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

What you will pay

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Where we install in BN15

From Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Sompting outwards, BN15 has every kind of home. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote.

From London flats to coastal homes and country cottages, London and the South East have every kind of property. We are F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps. Parts of BN15 are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on outdoor units. We choose positions and fixings with that in mind.

Lancing: With historic houses such as Portslade Manor about 4.6 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around St. Michael & All Angels, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • File the paperwork with the manual
  • Do not cover or box in the outdoor unit
  • Have the system serviced once a year
  • Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes

If anything isn’t right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.

Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.

Let and managed properties

Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

System by system

Pipework and condensate drains

Cooling produces water as the air is dried, and the condensate drain carries it away. If gravity will not do it, a condensate pump is fitted and we allow for that in the quote.

Electrical supply

We check the consumer unit on the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we’ll tell you if yours does.

How we price air conditioning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
  • Access, including height, roofs and ladders
  • Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
  • What state the existing equipment is in

A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • Your installation or service records
  • The rating plate or label on any existing unit
  • The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
  • The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business

Quotes do not take long. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Your questions about air conditioning in BN15

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?

Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You will typically need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route and the lease will say. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

Will you make a mess?

We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.

Which brands do you work with?

Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.

Does servicing affect my warranty?

Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
