Air conditioning in TN15

How air conditioning works in TN15

Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Typical jobs include a study or office that overheats during the day and a room that’s unbearable on warm days, across ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.

Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
  5. The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.

What affects the price in TN15

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

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.

West Kingsdown: Living close to Church of Saint Edmund? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Lullingstone Castle, about 2.8 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.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly:

  • Leave space around the outdoor unit
  • Avoid setting it far colder than you need
  • Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
  • Report drips, noises or error codes right away

Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you are confident using it.

Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

What air conditioning can’t fix

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
  • Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
  • Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling

System by system

Offices, shops and commercial rooms

Larger buildings may suit VRF, which runs many indoor units from shared outdoor units. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.

Outdoor unit positions

Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.

Rented and managed buildings

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.

Common questions in TN15

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

When will I hear back?

On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.

What size air conditioning unit do I need?

Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.

Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?

The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

Does servicing affect my warranty?

It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
