Air conditioning across TN5: what to expect

Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient and a business premises that overheats in summer.

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your 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.

  1. First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
  3. Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
  4. The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.

Wadhurst: Living close to The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. About 0.1 miles south stands Wadhurst Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Keeping the system healthy

Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:

  • Keep the room closed while it runs
  • Have the system serviced once a year
  • Avoid setting it far colder than you need
  • File the paperwork with the manual

The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.

Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.

What we are called out for in TN5

In shops, offices and restaurants, the heat comes from customers, staff, equipment and lighting as well as the sun. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is usually what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • A business premises that overheats in summer
  • A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
  • A loft conversion that is too warm to use
  • Rooms heated by plug-in heaters

What the work involves, system by system

Electrical supply

A dedicated circuit is normally needed. We’re NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves, which takes care of the Part P notification.

Outdoor unit positions

The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.

What air conditioning cannot fix

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Building damp that has a structural cause
  • Gas boiler or central heating faults (we do not work on gas boilers)
  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

TN5: your questions answered

Why does F-Gas certification matter?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.

Is the equipment covered by a warranty?

Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.

What does it cost to install air conditioning?

From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

How long does air conditioning installation take?

A single-room system is typically fitted in a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
