Owner checks or an engineer?
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 phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Air con installers in Lordswood
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, while a two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. A lot of the calls we get from Lordswood are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. That is typically a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Outdoor units around Lordswood often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. We’re NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves and that covers the Part P side.
Air conditioning in Lordswood: local notes
Lordswood lies within about 3 miles of the sea. That’s worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 36% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit usually goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short.
Around Lord's Hill Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. With historic houses such as South Stoneham House about 2.4 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Common questions in Lordswood
Can you do air conditioning in Lordswood?
We do: Lordswood falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Lordswood?
It can, as Lordswood is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will you need to do electrical work?
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 we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Typically, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Lordswood.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
