Do you need air conditioning in Ellingham?
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
Air conditioning in Ellingham
Across Ellingham, every installation follows the same steps: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before we start and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. Air conditioning installation in Ellingham starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Ellingham. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What an install looks like in Ellingham
About 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Homes near Church of St Mary and All Saints are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

What else we do in Ellingham
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What state the existing equipment is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Work in Ellingham is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

FAQs for Ellingham
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Ellingham?
It depends on the property. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Ellingham. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at New Forest council, normally the authority for Ellingham.
Is Ellingham within the area you cover?
Yes. Ellingham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Ellingham and across Hampshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
Indoor units on a multi-split do not all have to look the same, choosing what suits each room, depending on the model. We plan the mix on the survey.
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate, which takes care of the Part P notification.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
