Air conditioning in RH6: how it works
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and working from home in a room that gets too warm.
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

Air conditioning around RH6
In RH6, 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.
Enquiries from RH6 get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.
Horley: If you work from home near Horley station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Living close to St Wilfrid's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The address and the type of property
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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 us on 07833 053749 or email us.
System by system
Multi-split systems
A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.
Ducted systems
With a ducted system, the indoor unit sits out of sight above the ceiling, and all you see is a discreet grille. It’s popular where people do not want a unit on the wall.
For landlords and property managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in RH6 and across Surrey. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Questions from RH6
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted units need a void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you cover RH6?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes RH6.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You will typically need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do 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.
