Air conditioning across BN52: what to expect
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. We’re often asked to deal with not knowing which system, size or brand to choose and commercial rooms that are too warm for staff, on ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.

Why book with us

Getting 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 Hove
In Hove, that means homes and buildings near Hove Park School, Holy Trinity Church and The Drive Prep School, among other places. Also close by are The Urchin pub (within half a mile south-west), St Andrew's CofE (Aided) Primary School (less than half a mile west) and St. Ann's Well Gardens (0.7 miles east). There’s a railway station in Hove itself: Hove station. A little further out are British Engineerium (0.9 miles north) and Montefiore Hospital (0.7 miles east). Open spaces near Hove include Whitehawk Hill and Thundersbarrow Hill.
Air conditioning across BN52: local notes
Across BN52, from Hove to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, then a fixed-price quote.
Enquiries from BN52 get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.
Hove: Homes near Holy Trinity Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it. Plenty of people near Hove station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
Why it fails
Not everyone is after cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. That’s how most modern split systems work.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
For landlords and property managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Why act early?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and in most cases heats too, so it works for you in winter as well.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
How we price air conditioning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The size of the job
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The cost 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. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Common questions in BN52
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you cover BN52?
Yes. BN52 is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East. Our base is in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Which type of system should I choose?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
