Split System Air Conditioning Installation

Getting one room properly cooled and heated

A split system is two units doing one job: a wall-mounted indoor unit and an outdoor condenser, joined by refrigerant pipework, a drain line and a power cable. It is the standard answer for a room that overheats, without ripping out ceilings for ductwork.

Most people come to us with one room in mind. We survey before quoting, because room size, glazing, pipe run length, access and the available electrical supply all change both the right system and the price. From there we handle the siting, the wall penetration, the pipe routes, the condensate, the electrics and the making good. The refrigerant work, flaring, vacuuming, pressure testing and leak checking, is carried out by suitably qualified refrigerant engineers who work to us, the same way a builder brings in a qualified electrician.

One number, one team, and one company responsible for how it looks as well as how it runs.

Most modern split systems are reverse-cycle, so they heat as well as cool. A unit fitted for a hot loft in July is doing useful work again by October, which is often what decides it.

Rooms we fit split systems in

Garden room air conditioning — garden offices, studios and summer houses. Unbearable in July, unusable in January, and one reverse-cycle unit deals with both. The survey checks the spur from the house can carry the load.

Loft conversion air conditioning — loft rooms catch the sun all day and hold the heat. Fitted during the build, or as a neat retrofit once the room is finished.

Conservatory air conditioning — the heat load depends on the glazing and which way the room faces, not the floor area. Sizing to the real load is what makes the room usable all year.

Home gym air conditioning — garages, spare rooms and garden buildings, sized for the heat you generate training rather than the square footage.

Bedroom air conditioning — getting the noisy part outside and siting it thoughtfully. The aim is sleeping better, not just colder.
