The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Foulford.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear access to the fuse board

Air conditioning installation in Foulford
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Air conditioning installation in Foulford starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
Around Foulford, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What happens if it’s left?
A system that’s the wrong size never works well. An undersized unit runs hard and still cannot keep the room cool; an oversized one cycles on and off and wastes energy. Sizing each room properly on the survey avoids both. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Foulford.

Common problems we fix in Foulford
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window can’t close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose

What an install looks like in Foulford
Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit. The Western Escarpment Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Foulford, within about a third of a mile. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (typically New Forest council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House about 3.3 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork and is fixed after a survey or from pictures.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
How the job changes from property to property
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
Outdoor unit positions
Noise is part of the decision: keeping it clear of bedrooms and boundaries where we can and fitted so vibration doesn’t carry into the building. It can also affect whether planning permission is needed.
