Air conditioning in CT20: how it works
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just ring us on 07833 053749 or email us with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer and a business premises that overheats in summer.
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- 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.
Pricing in CT20
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning across CT20: local notes
Planning rules are the same across England, CT20 included: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
We are based in East Grinstead and work across London and the South East, CT20 included. Every job starts with a site survey or pictures, then a fixed-price quote. In the coastal parts of CT20, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.
Folkestone: Plenty of people near Folkestone Central station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Older streets near United Reformed Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
What we are called out for in CT20
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- Too many options and no clear advice
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
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.
Your questions about air conditioning in CT20
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
