Ceiling cassettes
For wide rooms, a cassette spreads the air more evenly than one wall unit with just a grille visible in the ceiling.
Wall-mounted split systems
A single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork included. Long pipe runs, difficult access and a new circuit affect where your job sits in the range.

What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a village like Appleford-on-Thames, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Appleford-on-Thames questions
Can I fit air conditioning in Appleford-on-Thames without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 10 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Appleford-on-Thames. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Appleford-on-Thames, normally Vale of White Horse council) when it matters.
Can you do air conditioning in Appleford-on-Thames?
Yes. Appleford-on-Thames is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Air conditioning in Appleford-on-Thames: the local picture
About 35% of households live in terraced houses, according to the 2021 Census. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit typically goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short.
Clifton Hampden Manor, about 1.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If you work from home near Appleford station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
