Air Con Installation FAQs
Installation varies depending on the size of unit, the distance between the indoor and outdoor units but as a guide, a single room install with an average size of 15m2 and with the distance between the indoor and outdoor unit within 6m, costs approximately £999 plus VAT.
We usually allow one full day for a single system installation.
All of the air conditioning systems we provide are A+++ rated meaning they are energy efficient and can help you reduce both your energy costs and CO2 emissions.
As summers continue to get hotter in the UK, an air conditioning unit can be an excellent investment for both homes and businesses.
As well as keeping you cool and comfortable in summer, modern air conditioning units can output warm air offering a low cost method for heating rooms in the winter without the need and cost of heating the entire house.
Air conditioning units can also help to improve the air quality of your home to reduce humidity and prevent mould.
Whilst it’s possible to install air conditioning units yourself, it’s not advisable without the correct experience and qualifications.
Air conditioning systems use fluorinated gases to cool the air and F-Gas certification is required when working with appliances that use these gases.
Furthermore, the gases used in all new AC systems are flammable and are therefore dangerous to work with if you don’t have the correct equipment and expertise.
Modern air conditioning units are extremely effective in distributing air and therefore the position doesn’t matter as much as it used to.
However, to get the best results from your system, it’s better to position the air conditioning unit centrally to ensure a balanced airflow.
As well as the positioning, choosing the right type of unit can help in ensuring your air con runs as effectively as possible.
Air Con Servicing & Repairs FAQs
All of the manufacturers we use offer warranties on their units. These range between 3-5 years. In addition we guarantee our engineers work for 1 year.
We can usually diagnose and repair most faults, from PCB replacements to compressor replacements.
During a routine air conditioning service, a number of checks are undertaken, the filters cleaned and the unit checked for leaks.
If the air conditioning system is very old, you could save money by purchasing a new more efficient unit rather than repairing the old one.
Our air conditioning engineers will be able to assess the damage and make a recommendation on whether your current system is worth repairing or not.
