Air conditioning installation in Hollington
Any installation we do in Hollington follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Most split systems we fit in Hollington are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Hollington. More often it’s the walls, the electrics and the length of the pipe run that need thinking about.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Air conditioning in Hollington: local notes
About 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
Stargroves, about 0.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Around Church of St Thomas, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
Hollington is about 5 miles south-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Hollington gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we have finished. Our list for West Berkshire has 155 entries, and Hollington is one. Guildford, roughly 36 miles off, has its own page on this site.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Common questions in Hollington
Do you cover Hollington for air conditioning?
Yes. Hollington is one of the places we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hollington?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hollington. 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 planning department at Basingstoke and Deane council, usually the authority for Hollington.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Which type of system should I choose?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
A wall-mounted split is the most common choice for a single room. The indoor unit sits high on a wall, the outdoor unit goes outside, and the two are joined by insulated pipework, a cable and a condensate drain, with the route agreed on the survey.
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it, with each room controlled separately.
After we’ve gone
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
The filters are the one part you’ll look after yourself, so we show you how. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, following the manual, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a place like Hollington, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
