How air conditioning works in RH20
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. Common call-outs are for a room that’s unbearable on warm days and commercial rooms that are too warm for staff, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.

Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

What’s near Storrington
Typical jobs here are in properties near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Parham Park and The Moon pub, among other places. Also close by are Rydon Community College (0.6 miles east) and Storrington Primary School (within half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Pulborough station, about 3.9 miles north-west. A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (under half a mile south) and Amberley Castle (4.1 miles west). The countryside around Storrington includes Chanctonbury Hill and Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
Where we install in RH20
In RH20, we install in places such as Horsham, Storrington and West Chiltington Common and well beyond. Every place on our RH20 list (34 in all) is covered.
Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and RH20 sits within it. One phone number covers all of it.
Storrington: Older streets near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. With historic houses such as Parham House about 2 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What we’re called out for in RH20
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, which means more heat out than electricity in. That is how most modern split systems work.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
You get the paperwork that matters: F-Gas records, commissioning details and the manufacturer’s warranty terms. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
RH20: your questions answered
Do you work on all makes?
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 survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Do you work in RH20?
Yes. Our engineers work in RH20, as part of our area across London and the South East. We’re based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
Will I need planning permission?
It can do. Heat pumps and cooling-only units are treated differently, and so are flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We flag anything that may need permission when we survey and the council makes the decision. This is general information, not legal advice.
