How air conditioning works in GU6

Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. Common call-outs are for bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer and too many options and no clear advice, on ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
  2. Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
  3. Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
  4. Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
  5. Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.

How we quote

What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Air conditioning across GU6: local notes

Planning rules are the same across England, GU6 included: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.

Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and GU6 sits within it. You reach the same people wherever you are in it.

Cranleigh: Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Nicholas, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Why it fails

Not everyone is after cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. That is how most modern split systems work.

Customers usually contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Expensive direct electric heating
  • Working from home in a room that gets too warm
  • Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
  • A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement

How we price air conditioning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • The condition of any existing system
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The rating plate or label on any existing unit
  • Where the property is and what kind of building it is
  • The fuse board and where it is in the property
  • Your installation or service records

Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
  • Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
  • Shut doors and windows when it’s on
  • Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
  • Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends

Questions after the installation go to the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we will help you sort it out.

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.

Questions from GU6

What accreditations do you have?

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

How long does it take to fit air conditioning?

Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

Typically, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
