FAQs
Which areas around Lancing do you cover for heating and air-conditioning services?
Our primary service area is Lancing itself, but we also cover the wider West Sussex coastline—including Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Sompting, Southwick, Portslade, and adjoining villages. If you’re unsure whether your postcode is included, just give us a call and we’ll confirm availability or arrange a site visit.
What exactly is a climate-control system and how does it differ from a standard HVAC unit?
A climate-control system automatically regulates both temperature and humidity for year-round comfort. Unlike a basic boiler or single-stage air conditioner that only heats or cools, climate-control equipment contains variable-speed compressors, smart thermostats, and integrated sensors. These features allow the system to modulate output, maintain a stable set-point in half-degree increments, and improve energy efficiency by running at lower capacities when full power isn’t required.
Are your engineers certified to work with refrigerants and gas appliances?
Yes. All of our engineers are Gas Safe-registered for natural gas and LPG, and hold F-Gas Category 1 certification for handling refrigerants under EU Regulation 517/2014. We also carry full public liability insurance and follow manufacturer training programmes for brands such as Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, and Worcester Bosch.
Do you offer preventative maintenance plans for residential and commercial clients?
Absolutely. We provide tiered maintenance packages that include annual or bi-annual inspections, filter changes, coil cleaning, and performance checks. Regular servicing reduces energy consumption by up to 20 %, prolongs equipment life, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid. Commercial clients can opt for out-of-hours visits to minimise disruption.
How can I make my heating and cooling system more energy-efficient in an older Lancing property?
Start with a professional heat-loss calculation to size the equipment correctly; over-sized units cycle on and off, wasting energy. Next, upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat, seal draughts around windows and loft hatches, and consider adding loft or cavity-wall insulation. Finally, schedule annual maintenance—dirty filters and coils can raise running costs by 10–15 %.
What is the typical lead time for a new installation and how disruptive is the process?
For most domestic installations, lead time from the initial survey to commissioning is 10–14 days, subject to stock availability. A standard retrofit takes two days: day one for removing old equipment and running new pipework or ducting, and day two for installing the indoor and outdoor units, wiring, and commissioning. We use dust sheets, shoe covers, and vacuum cleaners to keep disruption and mess to an absolute minimum.
