Air Conditioning Installation for Homes and Businesses
Every installation starts with a visit to look at the rooms, the space for the outdoor unit and how you’ll use the system. We then recommend a suitable setup and explain it clearly before any work begins.
- Wall-mounted split systems. One indoor unit linked to one outdoor unit. They suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and loft conversions.
- Multi-split systems. Several indoor units run from a single outdoor unit, so you can cool more than one room without filling a wall with outdoor units.
- Small offices and commercial premises. Air conditioning for offices, shops and small workplaces, planned around your opening hours to keep disruption down.
We keep pipe and cable runs as neat as possible and leave the area clean when we’ve finished. Before we leave, we show you how to use the controls. All air conditioning work is carried out by our F-Gas registered contractors.
Air Conditioning Servicing & Maintenance
Like a boiler, an air conditioning unit works best when it’s looked after. Regular servicing helps a system run efficiently, keeps the air it delivers cleaner and can catch small problems before they turn into breakdowns. A typical service includes:
- cleaning or replacing filters
- checking and cleaning the indoor and outdoor units
- checking drainage and condensate pipes for blockages or leaks
- checking controls, operation and airflow
- a visual check of pipework and connections
We service domestic and commercial systems, whether we installed them or not. Ask us about planned maintenance for business premises.
Air Conditioning Repairs & Fault Finding
If your air conditioning has stopped cooling, is leaking water, making unusual noises, showing an error code or won’t switch on, we can help. Our engineers find the cause of the fault first, explain what they’ve found and agree the next step with you before carrying out any repair. Work involving refrigerant is handled by our F-Gas registered contractors.

Air Conditioning FAQs
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning?
Many domestic installations fall under permitted development, but it depends on the property, where the outdoor unit goes, and things like listed-building or conservation-area status. We’ll point out anything to check during the survey. If you’re unsure, check with your local council.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Manufacturers usually recommend servicing at least once a year, and businesses with heavier use may need it more often. Check your system’s manual or warranty terms, which may set out specific service intervals.
Can air conditioning also heat my home?
Many modern split systems can heat as well as cool, but not all can. We’ll tell you whether a particular unit offers heating when we recommend a system.
Who carries out the refrigerant work?
All air conditioning work, including handling refrigerant gases, is carried out by our F-Gas registered contractors, as UK regulations require.
