Air conditioning in ME19

We cover every part of the ME19 postcode district, which takes in Kings Hill, East Malling and West Malling. Every job starts with a site survey and a fixed-price quote.

Air conditioning in ME19: how it works

We install leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. We’re often asked to deal with an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life and fans and portables that don’t keep up, across ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.

  1. First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
  3. The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
  4. Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
  5. Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

What you will pay

Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

Why book with us

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air conditioning across ME19: local notes

From Kings Hill, Snodland and East Malling outwards, ME19 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote.

Across London and the South East, we reply to enquiries the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7.

Kings Hill: Old Soar Manor, about 3.7 miles west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Homes near Church of St John the Baptist are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Looking after your system

Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:

  • Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
  • File the paperwork with the manual
  • Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
  • Book an annual service

The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.

Use sensible settings. A moderate set temperature cools the room just as well as the lowest one, without the waste and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.

Pricing air conditioning in ME19

The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • The brand, model and parts involved
  • One-off work versus a regular service cycle
  • The condition of any existing system
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units

The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
  • A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
  • Any previous service or F-Gas records
  • The fuse board and where it is in the property

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.

What owners can safely do

Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

When something else is needed

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
  • Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

Common questions in ME19

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

Most of the time, 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 we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

How do you keep the place clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
