Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
A ducted system needs a ceiling void or loft deep enough for the unit and ducts plus an access hatch for maintenance. The survey confirms whether there’s room.
Multi-split systems
A multi-split runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit. It saves wall space outside and suits homes where several rooms need cooling and each indoor unit has its own controls.
About our air conditioning in Ipsden
Air conditioning is not only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning, so a well-chosen unit can be useful in winter as well as summer.

What we are called out for in Ipsden
Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is usually what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
What we’re most often called about:
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
Basildon Park (roughly 4.7 miles south) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
What your quote should include
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

What affects the cost of air conditioning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The address and the type of property
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The remote or wall controller showing any error

Ipsden questions
Is air conditioning in Ipsden permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Ipsden holds about 15 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Ipsden, usually South Oxfordshire council).
Do you cover Ipsden for air conditioning?
We do: Ipsden falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
In most cases, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we’re NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. The survey tells us how long your installation will need, so you can plan around it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Ipsden.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Air conditioning in Ipsden: the local picture
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 41% of homes in Ipsden and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. 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.
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
