Air conditioning

Wall mounted split systems for homes, home offices and small commercial units across Bexley and North Kent. Supplied, installed and serviced, with the indoor unit sited where it actually cools the room and the pipework and condensate run planned before anything is drilled.

What is included

Every air conditioning install, covered.

Home and home office installs

Bedrooms that are unbearable in July, loft conversions that cook, and home offices with a wall of glass. A single split system is usually all it takes and it heats as well as cools.

Sizing done properly

Room size, glazing, which way it faces and what is in it decide the capacity. An undersized unit runs flat out and never gets there; an oversized one short cycles and costs more to run.

Siting, pipework and condensate

Indoor unit placed so the air is not blowing straight at a bed or a desk, outdoor unit sited to keep noise away from windows and neighbours, and the condensate run planned so it drains where it should.

Heating as well as cooling

A modern split system is a heat pump, so it will take the chill off a room in October far more cheaply than an electric heater. Worth knowing before you write it off as a summer purchase.

Servicing and filter cleaning

Filters cleaned, coils checked, drains cleared and the refrigerant circuit checked, which is what keeps the running cost down and stops the smell that comes off a neglected unit.

Electrics included

The supply, the isolator and the circuit for the unit are all part of the same job because the same team does the electrical work. No waiting on a separate sparky to finish the install.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?

For most houses the outdoor unit falls under permitted development if it is sited sensibly, but flats, listed buildings and properties in a conservation area are a different matter. We will tell you where you stand before the job is booked rather than after the unit is on the wall.

Will an air conditioning unit be noisy?

The indoor unit is quiet, around the level of a fridge, and the noise that causes arguments is the outdoor unit. Siting it away from bedroom windows and off a boundary wall it shares with next door solves most of it, and that gets planned at the quote stage.

Can air conditioning heat the room in winter?

Yes. The systems we fit are heat pumps and run in reverse, so they will warm a room quickly and cheaply. A lot of customers end up using them more in spring and autumn than in summer.

How much does it cost to run?

Far less than people expect. A domestic split system cooling a bedroom is roughly the running cost of a couple of light fittings, and it is far cheaper than an electric heater when used the other way round. Exact figures depend on the unit and how long you run it.

Do air conditioning units need servicing?

Yes, once a year is sensible. Filters clog, condensate drains block and a unit that has never been touched loses efficiency and eventually starts to smell. A service is quick and it protects the unit.
