Air conditioning across TN35: what to expect

The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run, all before the price is fixed. We’re often asked to deal with a portable unit with a hose out of the window and bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer, across ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.

  1. You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.

Pricing in TN35

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. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Air conditioning across TN35: local notes

In TN35, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.

Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and TN35 sits within it. One phone number covers all of it. In the coastal parts of TN35, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Ore: Plenty of people near Ore station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Living close to Christ Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Why it fails

Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
  • Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
  • A study or office that overheats during the day
  • A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer

What the work involves, system by system

Ceiling cassettes

A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.

Electrical supply

Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate and that covers the Part P side.

Leave it or put it right?

Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and in most cases heats too, so it earns its keep all year.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
  • How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
  • Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job

After we’ve gone

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Have the system serviced once a year
  • Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
  • Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
  • Report drips, noises or error codes straight away

If anything isn’t right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.

Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans what you cannot reach and picks up faults before they stop the system, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.

Your questions about air conditioning in TN35

Do you cover TN35?

Yes. We work in TN35 and across East Sussex, as part of our area across London and the South East. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in TN35 and across East Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.

Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?

It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.

Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?

It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

How do you size the system?

Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it, and we take them all into account on the survey.

What warranty do I get?

Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
