Air conditioning in TW17: how it works

Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and you’ll hear back from us the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are an ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life and a loft room or top floor that bakes in summer.

Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we tidy up before we leave.

  1. First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
  3. On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
  4. We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
  5. We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.

What you will pay

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

What’s near Shepperton

Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Church of St Nicholas, The Anchor pub and Thamesmead School and the streets around them. Also close by are St Nicholas CofE Primary School (under half a mile west), Thamesmead School (less than half a mile south-east) and Sunbury Park (1.8 miles north-east). Shepperton has its own railway station: Shepperton station. Other landmarks nearby include No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (0.9 miles south-east) and Kempton Steam Museum (2.8 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Kempton Park Reservoirs and St Ann's Hill.

Air conditioning across TW17

Planning rules are the same across England, TW17 included: cooling-only units are not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.

We’re based in East Grinstead and work across London and the South East, TW17 included. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed-price quote.

Shepperton: About 3.8 miles south-east stands The Homewood. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. If you commute from Shepperton station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that’s needed.

Before you call an engineer

Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Some faults have simple causes you can check first: 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 call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

What we are called out for in TW17

Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A home office with a couple of screens, or a meeting room with a few people in it, warms up quickly, even when it is not especially hot outside.

These are the situations we see most often:

  • Too many options and no clear advice
  • An old system that needs replacing
  • A portable unit with a hose out of the window
  • Expensive direct electric heating

Why act early?

If you are thinking about air conditioning for a property in TW17, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. The installation takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and the date is agreed with you once you are happy with the quote.

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 will receive afterwards
  • Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included

Let and managed properties

Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

TW17: your questions answered

Are you F-Gas certified?

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s 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.

Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?

In most cases. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.

How long does air conditioning installation take?

A single-room system is normally fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.

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, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Do you provide F-Gas records?

Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
