Air conditioning in SS5: how it works
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run before you get a fixed-price quote. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and people most often call us about bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer and old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient.
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 anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
What you will pay
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How to get a quote

Air conditioning across SS5
In SS5, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
We reply to enquiries from SS5 the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7.
Hockley: If you work from home near Hockley station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Living close to Emmanuel Church Hall? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: 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 phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SS5
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Size matters more than brand. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both.
Comparing quotes
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. Once it’s running properly, we take you through the controls and settings so you know how to get the best from it.
Set it and leave it. 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.
FAQs for SS5
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. You will normally need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
