Air conditioning in CT13: how it works

Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be and we talk you through it on the survey. The work covers ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are expensive direct electric heating and fans and portables that don’t keep up.

You do not 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.

  1. First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
  3. Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
  4. We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
  5. We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.

Air conditioning across CT13: local notes

From Sandwich, Eastry and Buttsole outwards, CT13 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote.

CT13 is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. You reach the same people wherever you are in it. In the coastal parts of CT13, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing.

Sandwich: Older streets near Sandwich United Reformed Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Plenty of people near Sandwich station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:

  • Never run the system with the filters out
  • Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
  • Shut doors and windows when it’s on
  • Use moderate settings for comfort and economy

The handover includes the records you need: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.

Leave it or put it right?

If you are thinking about air conditioning for a property in CT13, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. Installation takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we agree a date that suits you once you’re happy with the quote.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
  • How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
  • Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
  • Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Central heating repairs
  • A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

Different systems, different jobs

Multi-split systems

A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.

Ducted systems

Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, and all you see is a discreet grille. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.
