Air Conditioning Installation

Yes, and it’s one of the best-kept secrets about modern systems. The units work as heat pumps, so at the flick of a setting they’ll warm a room instead of cooling it, and they manage that heating very efficiently. A lot of our customers end up using them for gentle warmth in the cooler months just as much as cooling in summer, which makes the system useful all year rather than seasonal.

A straightforward single-room installation is usually a day’s work, and sometimes less. If you’re having several units fitted across different rooms, it might stretch to a second day depending on the layout and the pipework runs. We’ll give you a realistic idea of timings when we survey, so you can plan around it rather than being left guessing.

Less than most people assume. The units are very efficient, especially the higher-rated models, and features like eco modes and scheduling help keep the costs down further. When you’re using one for heating, the heat-pump technology means you often get several units of warmth for every unit of electricity, which compares well against plenty of traditional heating options.

Not a lot, thankfully. The main thing is keeping the filters clean, which is a simple job you can do yourself every now and then, and we’ll show you how. Beyond that, it’s worth having the system checked over periodically to keep it running at its best and to look after the refrigerant side, which is something our registered engineers can handle for you.

The indoor unit sits high on a wall where it can push air evenly around the room, and the outdoor unit can go on an external wall, at ground level, or on a flat roof, wherever it’s tidiest and best for airflow. Most homes and premises are perfectly suitable, but the survey is where we confirm the best positions and the neatest route between the two, so you get an efficient system that looks the part.
