Air conditioning in BN43: how it works
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see and we talk you through it on the survey. Typical jobs include a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer and fans and portables that don’t keep up, on multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- 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.
How we quote
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- F-Gas company certification
- MCS certification for heat pump work
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval

Air conditioning across BN43: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, BN43 included: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
We reply to enquiries from BN43 the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7. In the coastal parts of BN43, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.
Shoreham-by-Sea: Portslade Manor, about 2.3 miles 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. Plenty of people near Shoreham-By-Sea station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
What affects the quote in BN43
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- How many units are involved
- The pipe route between the units
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. You’ll hear back from us the same working day.
Different systems, different jobs
Outdoor unit positions
The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, depending on the property and the pipe route. It needs space around it to breathe and for an engineer to work on it.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, such as a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange and prepare for it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Draughts and missing insulation
For landlords and property managers
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
BN43: your questions answered
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A single-room system is typically fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Which type of system should I choose?
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.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
