Rented and managed buildings
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.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
About our air conditioning in Hungerford
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, 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. If you want air conditioning in Hungerford, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in West Berkshire.
Outdoor units around Hungerford often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s out of sight from the road and easy to service.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

When to call us in Hungerford
Many people try a portable unit first. 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. With a split system, the compressor lives outside.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Lawrence, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards

Questions from Hungerford
Will you come out to Hungerford?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Hungerford?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Hungerford sits inside the Hungerford Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Hungerford, typically West Berkshire council).
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Normally, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. The price is fixed before work begins.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.

Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Hungerford.
- 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.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

“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.”
