Air conditioning for Andover

Air conditioning installation in Andover

We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. People searching for “air con near me” in Andover want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.

A typical install in Andover is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.

Houses in a town like Andover tend to have room for an outdoor unit on a side or rear wall, or on the ground. We keep it away from bedroom windows next door and run the pipework as neatly as we can, inside through a loft or outside in trunking.

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What air conditioning won’t do

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
  • Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
  • Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council

Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Ceiling cassettes
  • Air-to-air heat pumps
  • VRF systems
  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • Multi-split systems
  • Ducted systems

Andover: your questions answered

Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning in Andover?

Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Will air conditioning in Andover need planning permission?

There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Andover Conservation Area is close to the centre of Andover. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Test Valley council, which is normally the planning authority for Andover.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

When will I hear back?

On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat?

In many cases, but permissions come first. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls and the lease will say. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

What we do, step by step

Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job in Andover.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
  2. Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
  3. Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
  4. Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
  5. The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
  • Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price air conditioning

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The equipment or parts the job needs
  • The number of rooms, units or zones
  • The type of system, from a single split to a larger system

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Before you get in touch

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
  • Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
  • A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light

To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

About 63 miles out from central London, Andover is part of the South East area we work across.

Plenty of people near Andover station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly:

  • Shut doors and windows when it’s on
  • Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
  • Book an annual service

The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.

Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.

A customer’s words

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
