Our air conditioning service in ME16
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about not knowing which system, size or brand to choose and old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient.
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
What affects the price in ME16
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. 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.
Around Allington
Around Allington, our work takes us to homes and businesses near The Maplesden Noakes School, St. Nicholas' Church and St. Simon Stock Catholic School, among other places. You’ll also find Allington Primary School (less than half a mile north-west), Malta Inn (0.8 miles north-east) and Whatman Park (0.8 miles south-east). The closest station to Allington is Barming station, about 0.8 miles west. A little further out are Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Museum (1.3 miles south-east) and Fremlin Walk (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
Where we install in ME16
In ME16, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
ME16 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.
Allington: Older streets near St. Nicholas' Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. Close to Barming station? A small study or box room used for work can normally be cooled with a single indoor unit.
Why it fails
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. An open window doesn’t always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
Different systems, different jobs
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during 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.
Ducted systems
With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.
Let and managed properties
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Outside, the pipework is neatly fixed and protected, so the job looks as tidy as it works.
Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste, and close windows and doors while it’s cooling.
ME16: your questions answered
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, 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.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
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 systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we’re happy to show ours.
