Air Conditioning in West Sussex
West Sussex has space. Country estates, barn conversions, farmhouses, equestrian properties — buildings that need serious climate control, not just a single bedroom unit. We specialise in larger residential and commercial installations across the county.
Rural & Estate Expertise
40+ years working with larger properties — country homes, farms, equestrian facilities
Designed for Space
West Sussex properties are often larger and more complex than typical suburban homes. You might have a Grade II listed farmhouse with thick stone walls. A barn conversion with soaring ceilings and exposed beams. An equestrian property with stables, an indoor arena, and a separate office block.
These aren't cookie-cutter installations. They need proper design work — calculating heat loads for unusual spaces, planning pipework runs that don't spoil period features, specifying systems that can handle the demands of large open-plan living areas.
We've been working with West Sussex's larger properties for decades. We understand the challenges and have solutions that work.

Property Types We Specialise In
Country Houses
Large family homes with multiple reception rooms, high ceilings, and often listed status. We design multi-zone systems that provide room-by-room control without compromising period features.
Barn Conversions
Open-plan living with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. These spaces need careful calculation — a standard unit won't cope. We specify systems sized for the volume, not just the floor area.
Equestrian Properties
Stables, tack rooms, office spaces, and residential areas — often spread across multiple buildings. We design integrated solutions that work across your entire estate.

Recent West Sussex Projects
Grade II Listed Farmhouse
A 6-bedroom farmhouse with 18-inch stone walls and no cavity to run pipework. We designed a system using floor-mounted units in secondary rooms and concealed ceiling units in the modern kitchen extension. All external equipment hidden in an existing outbuilding.
✓ Listed building consent approvedEquestrian Estate
A working equestrian property needed cooling for the office block, a viewing gallery overlooking the indoor arena, and the main residence. We installed a VRF system with 12 indoor units across three buildings, all controlled from a central panel.
