About air conditioning in DA13

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. We’re often asked to deal with a business premises that overheats in summer and old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient, on ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems.

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Ask for a quote

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air conditioning across DA13

Planning rules are the same across England, DA13 included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.

We reply to enquiries from DA13 the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. In the coastal parts of DA13, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Meopham: With historic houses such as Cobham College about 1.8 miles north-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around Parish Church of St John the Baptist, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

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:

  • Building damp that has a structural cause
  • Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
  • Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)

Different systems, different jobs

Electrical supply

We check the consumer unit on the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work and we’ll tell you if yours does.

Outdoor unit positions

Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Why it fails

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Fans and portables that don’t keep up
  • Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
  • Too many options and no clear advice
  • Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer

Your questions about air conditioning in DA13

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.

How long does air conditioning installation take?

Allow a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.

Do you cover DA13?

Yes. We cover DA13 and the rest of Kent, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

When will I hear back?

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
