Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Farley Hill
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, along with the manufacturer’s warranty terms on your quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Farley Hill it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Villages like Farley Hill often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Farley Hill easier.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Some jobs can be priced from photos, 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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

FAQs for Farley Hill
Will you come out to Farley Hill?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Farley Hill permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central Farley Hill sits inside a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Wokingham council, usually the authority for Farley Hill.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.

How the job changes from property to property
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, and the condensate drain carries it away. Where it cannot fall naturally to a drain, a condensate pump lifts it and we allow for that in the quote.
Outdoor unit positions
On flats and terraced houses, space outside is often the deciding factor. Every option is checked on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.
What an install looks like in Farley Hill
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 53% of homes in the Farley Hill area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 62% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Older streets near St Eligius may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Keep the indoor unit’s filters clean
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
When to call us in Farley Hill
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
What we are most often called about:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House about 3.9 miles south-west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
