Air conditioning in Foxcotte: the local picture
About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call. If your home is in one of the older streets near St Thomas, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Air conditioning installation in Foxcotte
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run before you get a fixed-price quote.

How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. If a lane or gateway near Foxcotte is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
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.
Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork, and access for servicing. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
Outdoor unit positions
The outdoor unit can go on a wall bracket, on the ground or on a flat roof, depending on the property and the pipe route. It needs airflow around it and room for servicing.

For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Foxcotte questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Foxcotte?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Foxcotte. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Foxcotte, normally Test Valley council).
Do you cover smaller places like Foxcotte?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours, and the position can affect planning.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
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.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
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.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

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.”
